This way, you're supposing that ExtLib.List will be a reimplementation of
the List module... I don't that's the purpose here. Let's just say that
ExtList contains additionnals functions using the List.t type ( aka 'a
list ) and that you can use them just with "open ExtList". Don't you think ?

Same remarks. ExtLib is not a different implementation, so switching between
StdLib and ExtLib does not make sense.
