Batteries included is a community-driven effort to standardize on an uniform, documented, and comprehensive ocaml development platform.

batteries included serves the following purposes:
* define a standard set of libraries which may be expected on every
compliant installation of ocaml
* organize these libraries into a hierarchy of modules, with one
source of documentation
* define a standard set of language extensions which may be expected
on every compliant installation of ocaml
* provide a consistent api for otherwise independent libraries.
this package contains the core part of batteries included: libraries and language extensions for the ocaml language. using this package you can develop ocaml programs built on top of batteries included.
