    Invariant: Tpat_value pattern should not carry pat_attributes or pat_extra metadata coming from user syntax, which must be on the inner pattern node -- to facilitate searching for a certain value pattern constructor with a specific attributed.

    To enforce this restriction, we made the argument of the Tpat_value constructor a private synonym of pattern, requiring you to use the as_computation_pattern function below instead of using the Tpat_value constructor directly.

type implementation = {
  1. structure : structure;

  4. shape : Shape.t;
}

A typechecked implementation including its module structure, its exported signature, and a coercion of the module against that signature.

If an .mli file is present, the signature will come from that file and be the exported signature of the module.

If there isn't one, the signature will be inferred from the module structure.

val as_computation_pattern : pattern -> computation general_pattern

as_computation_pattern p is a computation pattern with description Tpat_value p, which enforces a correct placement of pat_attributes and pat_extra metadata (on the inner value pattern, rather than on the computation pattern).
