pyml and OCaml 5.0.0

[pklehre]

Thank you for providing a useful OCaml package!

OCaml 5.0 is likely to release soon:

Will pyml still work with OCaml 5.0? There seems to be an issue with the stdcompat package which pyml relies on:

thierry-martinez/stdcompat#15

Here is what I get

[pkl@zeta ocamlec]$ opam switch 5.0.0+trunk 
# Run eval $(opam env) to update the current shell environment
[pkl@zeta ocamlec]$ eval $(opam env)
[pkl@zeta ocamlec]$ opam install pyml
The following actions will be performed:
  ∗ install stdcompat 18       [required by pyml]
  ∗ install pyml      20220325
===== ∗ 2 =====
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Thank you for your interest in pyml! Indeed, I plan to make a release soon for stdcompat, pyml and some other libraries for OCaml 5.0. stdcompat master branch is already compatible with OCaml 5.0: if you do opam pin https://github.com/thierry-martinez/stdcompat.git, it should work...

[pklehre]

Yes, that works. Thank you.
