First, It's caml, or more exactly Objective Caml.
I understand your reticence, ...
That said, there is not a single exemplar of functional languages in the tasks
proposed at first, and ocaml is with scheme the most popular of those
languages, this may be a good reason, don't you think ?
Anyway, i guess you are the only judge on this anyway, and i don't have time
right now for a more elaborate argument.
I will submit a wish bug anyway though.
