Type-representing values

type constructible = |

API description

type _ elem = private

| Elem : string * ('ftyp, 'r, 's) Fun.fn * 'ftyp -> 's elem

Type and constructor to capture a single function signature

type 's api = (int * 's elem) list

The type of module signatures

val val_ : string -> 'f -> ('f, 'r, 's) Fun.fn -> int * 's elem

val_ str f sig describes a function signature from a string str, a function value f, and a signature description sig.

val val_freq : int -> string -> 'f -> ('f, 'r, 's) Fun.fn -> int * 's elem

val_freq w str f sig describes a function signature like val_ str f sig but with relative weight w rather than 1. A function of weight 2 will have twice the probability of being invoked compared to a function of weight 1.
