Am I correct in thinking that you can only use one camlp4 parser per source
file - i.e. that parsers cannot be automatically composed, even if that is
logically (grammatically) possible?
I believe multiple CamlP4 parsers can be specified on the command line and are used in the order given. But there are a few (relatively trivial) syntax extensions people are commonly asking for (try ... finally is probably the most common), so I was suggesting that we group the most requested ones into a single camlp4 rather than users having to keep up with and constantly specify multiple camlp4s.
