These are most likely a mistake for "type t = unit", but still valid, and lead
to quite confusing error messages afterwards because now `()` denotes two
different incompatible constructors.
* add a release checklist
Currently this list isn't publicly available, it sits in various
different versions on @damiendoligez's filesystems. He sent me a copy
when I took care of some of the recent releases. The present
presentation is a result of significant cleanups and changes to the
checklist -- in particular, some mistakes may have jumped in.
This is not a scripted process, it is very informal and it is likely
that there are some mistakes/omissions in the list. Yet, it sounds
better to have it somewhere in the source repository than not have it
around at all. It was certainly helpful to me, and it probably would
be to other release-help volunteers.
(The list is put in tools/ because there isn't a clearly better place
for it. This choice was suggested by Damien.)
- inline Pervasives in Stdlib and re-add Pervasives as a deprecated
module that aliases all elements of Stdlib except the stdlib modules.
- remove special case for Stdlib.Pervasives in printtyp.ml
The use of a non-Format output caused troubles when called from the
toplevel. In comparison, Misc.fatal_errorf was already using Format,
and many files freely mix those two functions.
The suggestion comes from Florian Angeletti in #1918.

Instead of the current print to stderr. This way it's treated the same
as other warnings: it has a position, colors, can be made an error,
disabled, goes in the expected formatter, is documented.
- store what was passed on the command line, before expanding
+foo into path-to-stdlib/foo, instead of randomly doing either
- the toplevel libraries were not expanding the leading + from
OCAMLPARAM
- make the native toplevel slightly closer to the bytecode one
- remove what looks like duplicated code in ocamldoc
- Introduce `-dcamlprimc`, to keep the generated C file containing the primitive list
- Use `-fdebug-prefix-map` for compiling temporary C files when this option is supported
