extract conv.ml about ocaml-containers HOT 6 CLOSED

By itself it shouldn't depend on unix. If you think that this code can help you (it's pretty experimental), then I can put it in its own repository (I have some other code that interfaces it with sexplib, yojson and bencode -- that might go in sub-modules thanks to oasis). If you have suggestions about the combinators, I'd be quite interested too.

Out of curiosity, what would you use it for?

I'd like to find a nice way to map OCaml values to prefix-tree like structures. Currently, it's a very manual process (see https://github.com/samoht/irminsule/blob/master/examples/views.ml#L26-L47) but I'd love to have a more combinatorial approach such as yours.

Ok, sounds pretty reasonable indeed. I'll make a repository this afternoon (I'm more or less thinking about writing a ppx extension for source/sink generation when 4.02 is released, by the way).

@samoht new repository created here, I'm going to make an opam package (at first, on my own repo, later on the official one).

New package available on my opam repository : https://github.com/c-cube/yolopam-repository.git .

Thanks! I'll see what I can do with it :p
