我正在关注Real World OCaml以开始使用该语言，并且，在某一点上，我将在模块签名中使用 s-expressions 。这是我的mli文件：
open Core.Std
(** Configuration type for query handlers *)
type config with sexp
(** Name of the query handler *)
val name : string
(** Query handler abstract type *)
type t
(** Create a query handler from an existing [config] *)
val create : config -> t
(** Evaluate a query, where both input and output an s-expressions. *)
val eval : t -> Sexp.t -> Sexp.t Or_error.t
但是，在编译该接口的实现时，我收到以下错误：
File "Query_Handler.mli", line 4, characters 12-16:
Error: Syntax error
Command exited with code 2.
所以我打开utop尝试with sexp更简单的例子：
module type Test = sig
type t with sexp
end;;
但是我收到以下错误：
Error: Parse Error: "end" expected after [sig_items] (in [module type])
但是，sexplib已安装，无论是本书还是我在互联网上的搜索都未提及使用此语法的任何“先决条件”。
我觉得我错过了什么。任何的想法？ ：（

这是因为sexp库已被重写为使用Extension Point, instead of Camlp4.

Converted to and from an s-expression *)

(** The state of the query handler *)
type t
(** Create a new query handler from a config *)
val create : config -> t
(** Evaluate a given query, where both input and output are
s-expressions *)
val eval : t -> Sexp.t -> Sexp.t Or_error.t
