I've submitted the paperwork, so now I'm just waiting to hear back from
them.  I'm still curious, though, as to how much you'd like me to change the
back-end behavior (i.e. the generated OCaml code and the way return
values are read) before checking with the community for their thoughts
and such.

The first table I tried to test on looked something like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+tblname: test
| John | 5 | 1.02 |
| Mary | 6 | 9.00 |
| Bob  | 7 | 0.50 |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the patch you recently submitted, this makes an invalid array of
arrays in OCaml, so that's why I was thinking it should generate an
array of tuples instead, so the output might look like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
let test = 
  [| ("John", 5, 1.02);
     ("Mary", 6, 9.00);
     ("Bob", 7, 0.50) |]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It doesn't seem like many people are using ob-ocaml.el yet, so I can
probably just make that change, document it, and then hope for the best,
right?
