Double semicolon peculiarity

Learning

Inside the terminal, you can’t distinguish shift-return from return. However you can distinguish meta-return from return and utop already binds meta-return to inserting a newline without ending the expression.

BTW, you can add this in your ~/.ocamlinit to make return automatically insert the double semicolon:

LTerm_read_line.bind
  [ { control = false; meta = false; shift = false; code = Enter } ]
  [ UTop.end_and_accept_current_phrase ]
