Hello caml-list,
with respect to the value restriction, what exactly constitutes a value?
the textbook definition doesn't seem to hold, since the following
generalizes:

let f = let x = 1 in fun g h x -> g (h x);;

while this won't:

let f () = let x = (fun x -> x) (fun x -> x) in fun g h x -> g (h x);;

cheers

--Jacques L.
