-" Executing OCamlPrintType(<mode>) function will display in the Vim bottom
+" Last Change: 2007 Jul 17
+" Maintainer:  Vincent Aravantinos <vincent.aravantinos@gmail.com>
+" License:     public domain
+"
+" Originally inspired by 'ocaml-dtypes.vim' by Stefano Zacchiroli.
+" The source code is quite radically different for we not use python anymore.
+" However this plugin should have the exact same behaviour, that's why the
+" following lines are the quite exact copy of Stefano's original plugin :
+"
+" <<
+" Executing Ocaml_print_type(<mode>) function will display in the Vim bottom
 " line(s) the type of an ocaml value getting it from the corresponding .annot
 " file (if any).  If Vim is in visual mode, <mode> should be "visual" and the
 " selected ocaml value correspond to the highlighted text, otherwise (<mode>
 " can be anything else) it corresponds to the literal found at the current
 " cursor position.
 "
-" .annot files are parsed lazily the first time OCamlPrintType is invoked; is
-" also possible to force the parsing using the OCamlParseAnnot() function.
+" Typing '<LocalLeader>t' (LocalLeader defaults to '\', see :h LocalLeader)
+" will cause " Ocaml_print_type function to be invoked with the right 
+" argument depending on the current mode (visual or not).
+" >>
 "
-" Typing ',3' will cause OCamlPrintType function to be invoked with
-" the right argument depending on the current mode (visual or not).
+" If you find something not matching this behaviour, please signal it.

+" Differences are:
+"   - no need for python support
+"     + plus : more portable
+"     + minus: no more lazy parsing, it looks very fast however
+"     
+"   - ocamlbuild support, ie.
+"     + the plugin finds the _build directory and looks for the 
+"       corresponding file inside;
+"     + if the user decides to change the name of the _build directory thanks
+"       to the '-build-dir' option of ocamlbuild, the plugin will manage in
+"       most cases to find it out (most cases = if the source file has a unique
+"       name among your whole project);
+"     + if ocamlbuild is not used, the usual behaviour holds; ie. the .annot
+"       file should be in the same directory as the source file;
+"     + for vim plugin programmers:
+"       the variable 'b:_build_dir' contains the inferred path to the build 
+"       directory, even if this one is not named '_build'.

+"   - lists are handled, even on multiple lines, you don't need the visual mode
