camlp4 extension for pattern matching with regexps - development

Mikmatch provides enhanced pattern matching with regexps for OCaml.

The goal of Mikmatch is to make text-oriented programs even easier to write, read and run without losing the unique and powerful features of OCaml. Mikmatch provides a concise and highly readable syntax for regular expressions, and integrates it into the syntax of OCaml thanks to Camlp4.

The implementation of Mikmatch consists essentially of:

 * a library which is loaded by the OCaml preprocessor (Camlp4) and
   defines sophisticated "macros", i.e. the modified syntax;
 * a traditional library (runtime) which is required by the programs that
   use the Mikmatch syntax;
 * a dedicated 'mikmatch' command which can be used as a replacement for
   'ocaml' in scripts or as an interactive toplevel. It performs automatically
   these steps: preprocessing, compilation and execution.

This package contains the development files needed for programming with the library.
