So I gather this is an automated translation step from one very rich formalism (mathematical theories) to a simpler one (signatures in this case). Very useful indeed, since this is a rather boring thing to do by hand, basically <i>because</i> it can be automated! Is the back-end generator easily replaceable? It might make sense to be able to target other languages than just ocaml, in the long run. There is something I don’t understand here: a mathematical theory is a specification.
