[Caml-list] Use of ephemerons

[Caml-list] Use of ephemerons

Hi All,

I'm looking to find out the extent of the use of ephemerons in the wild. A
quick search for "Ephemerons.set_key" on github led me to a single use in
an external library [1], while other uses seem to be wrappers, unit tests
or compiler forks. Are there other uses of ephemerons in tools or libraries
which I am missing?

Kind Regards
KC

One notable use of ephemerons within a "compiler fork" is their use in
the runtime of Jacques-Henri Jourdan's statistical memory profiler:

Thanks Gabriel. Hadn't seen that one.
