Are you suggesting that released versions of base-bytes would be silently
modified at each stdlib
release to incoporate new functions? What is (in your idea) the process to
follow when a new stdlib
version is released with additional functions in Bytes? (As happened in 4.03)
Is it not overkill already to try to have up-to-date with the lastest OCaml version compatibility
packages? If it is needed and possible why don't we do that for all the stdlib? Should we use the
compatibility package for version of the compiler that are not the latest?
Currently, I think compatibility package up-to-date with the first compiler version that introduces
it is enough.
