How about just prefix matching? That on its own would be very useful. For example in web app that was passed arguments foo_1, foo_2, bar_1, bar_5 you could parse the arguments like this: match arg with | "foo_" ^ s -> (* ... *) | "bar_" ^ s -> (* ... *) Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat -- Caml-list mailing list.
