Wrong indent for topkg file (#require)

[emillon]

Hi,

It seems that ocp-indent gets confused by #-directives.

The following:

#use "topfind"
#require "topkg"
open Topkg

indents to:

#use "topfind"
     #require "topkg"
open Topkg

Similarly with a shebang line:

#!/usr/bin/env ocaml
#use "topfind"
#require "topkg"
open Topkg

becomes:

#!/usr/bin/env ocaml
               #use "topfind"
                    #require "topkg"
open Topkg

Thanks!

This is not very easy to solve. Well, technically, it is, but the trouble is that there is an ambiguity at the OCaml syntax level. Indeed, the above are not, properly speaking, OCaml syntax, but directives for the toplevel.

What I mean by this is that ocaml #use "topfind" is valid OCaml code outside of the toplevel (call method use with argument "topfind" from object ocaml). So how to indent really depends on your setting.

The workaround to this so far has been to add ;; separators, since you are using the toplevel. It would be nice to handle the leading shebang, though.
