There are alternatives available, all of which have String folding: ExtLib: http://ocaml-extlib.googlecode.com/svn/doc/apiref/ExtString.String.html Batteries: http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.io/batteries-included/hdoc/BatString.html Jane Street Core: https://ocaml.janestreet.com/ocaml-core/111.28.00/doc/core_kernel/#Core_string ExtLib & Batteries are intended to be drop-in replacements for the Standard Library (so all existing standard library functions are included); Core is not.
