There's your answer as to why it's not the same thing. Don’t get your point. You can ppx_derive on a list type. There is a feature specifically designed for this common use case. That gives you a pretty printer for a list. Alternatively you can tier the type pretty printer. Is there supposed to be something special with lists?
