Thanks for posting this.  After skimming this I decided I needed a crash
course on OCaml, so I spent the majority of today doing just that.  I
think I've wrapped my head around it well enough (past elisp experience
helped!) and I'll be looking at this with a slightly more educated eye
in the morning.

Good luck fighting the influenza, and hope you feel better!
