[Neko] nekoml: why no oo support?

[ben kuin]

hi
I think ocamls oo support is pretty controversial among experts. While
I don't like the syntax I think from a practical standpoint the oo
features makes sense (But then, I'm no expert :-) ).
As far as I can see nekoml is lacking oo completely, despite its roots
in ocaml and despite the prototype oo suport in the neko language.
So I'd like to ask:
Was the lack of oo support a deliberate design decision, or if it had
other reasons like technical difficulties?
Would it be possible to merge neko's oo features into nekoml?

thanks
