A .cma or .cmxa archive does not pack its sub-modules under a common
module name: the module name Puz_plugin that you use does not refer to
anything. Accessing any of the constituent modules directly (eg.
Puz_match.foo) should work -- although it may not go through the .cmxa
but directly refer to the compilation unit.
Note that if "_plugin" is intended to refer to dynamic linking, you
may want to use a .mldylib file instead of .mllib, to be used to
generate a .cmxs file: .cmxa is not suitable for dynamic linking
(while, at the bytecode level, .cma work for both static and dynamic
linking).
