This PR adds a new field
(module_extensions (intf ...) (impl ...))
todune-project
that allows to specify additional extensions to be used for implementations and interfaces in addition to.ml
and.mli
.The motivation is that we are porting a large code base to use
dune
that for historical reasons uses a different extension than the standard ones. This is a minimal addition that makes it possible fordune
to handle this, and it may come in handy in other situations as well.For simplicity, the current patch only allows to extend the set of extensions used with OCaml, Reason support could be added as well.
