[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I don't have a strong opinion. Having mirage stuff in ocaml.scm is only because I didn't pay attention. We could move tgem to mirage.scm.

I agree moving stuff to ocaml-xyz and other subtopics could be good, but it's unrelated to this patcg series, so it shouldn't block it.
