The most annoying (to me) case where the lack of module recursion is
really hits is the problem of wanting type declarations and functor
instantiations in a recursive relationship. If this problem, which seems
like more of a compilation problem than a typing problem, were fixed, I
don't think I'd care that much about having a general recursive module
facility. I can live with the (admittedly sometimes ugly) workarounds in
other cases where module recursion is desirable.
That's not to say I wouldn't like or use a general recursive module feature,
but the full problem seems awfully hard in a (strict, impure) language like ML
and I doubt that I'll see it in OCaml before I retire.
