[ Why exceptions can't be polymorphic... ]

Quelle serait dans ce cas la semantique de:

exception Found of 'a;;

try
  raise (Found 1)
with
  Found x -> print_string;;

Pour que cela reste type-safe, il faudrait que l'on teste si les parties
polymorphes de l'exception renvoyee sont bien compatibles avec les
contraintes de types des variables du pattern-matching.

Cela revient a implementer un peu de la surcharge dynamique.

(Sauf erreur de ma part a faire reparer par les experts.)
