As it happens, my main inspiration for writing this plugin was primarily due to the extensive support Emacs provides for performing structural edits in lisp. After having experienced the ease and speed at which you can naturally transform lisp programs by using the expression-level movement and editing commands, it was rather annoying to find myself frequently relying on character level movements to account for small issues with tuareg/merlin's movement commands. Also, after actually setting this whole thing up, I now believe ocaml has the potential to provide an even better editing experience than lisp if structural editing is properly implemented, as the comparative lack of delimiters means that ocaml is quite quick to type in (and structural support should mean that this doesn't come at the cost of movement speed). Hopefully I've got the ball rolling with regards to structural editing of ocaml code, and I'm eager to see how this area progresses.
