I'm using an OCaml library that defines the infix operator "=>" from my reason project and I can't figure out how to use it. Is there any way to escape it so that it doesn't get interpreted in the reason way?

I'd be ok if I couldn't use it as an infix in Reason and had to rebind it or something but it would be nice not to have to fork the OCaml library.

Is there some trick I'm missing?

It's a bit of a hack, but you could have a .ml file which does the rebinding then pull the operator from that. That should at least be lighter weight than forking the OCaml library. This does sound like a bug in Reason though, maybe a missing operator escaping case.

infixhack.ml

let ( ==> ) = ( => )

main.re

open Infixhack;
/* Code using ==> */
