It is indeed a library based at first on Okasaki's pure functional data
structures, but redesigned for ocaml. The author pretends that they are
more efficiently implemented than equivalent haskell/sml/whatever
libraries. I mayself feel it would be a very usefull addition to debian,
though i would prefer that someone using it packages it. Do you use it
Yang ?
It was many time announced/discussed on the caml list, but what i could
see is that it is maybe not yet released, don't really know. Yang, could
you ask the upstream author of the status of it, and cc us here ?
