ocaml-hm-ctor-env registers None/Some : 'a -> 'a option, Ok/Error :
'a -> ('a, 'b) result. :con NAME instantiates the scheme; :pcon NAME
ARG-PATS walks arg patterns through the constructor's arrow type,
unifying each.
Pretty-printer renders 'Int option' and '(Int, 'b) result'.
Examples now infer:
fun x -> Some x : 'a -> 'a option
match Some 5 with | None -> 0 | Some n -> n : Int
fun o -> match o with | None -> 0 | Some n -> n : Int option -> Int
Ok 1 : (Int, 'b) result
Error "oops" : ('a, String) result
User type-defs would extend the registry — pending.
