Yes, typing errors are also hard to track in the default Camlp4
"stealth mode". I generally think it works well, apart from the corner
cases which will always occur during development where you really need
full excerpt of the generated code.

Not on ICFP but on OUD only.. but yeah, we could talk about Camlp4, I
think OCaml meta programming tools deserve much more attention in
general.
