Judging from the traffic on the mailing list I don't think there are
many users of the Babel ocaml implementation.
You're certainly free to experiment with as wide of a range of
implementation options as you like. Given that any patches will
necessarily move through this list, I think that we're guaranteed that
anyone interested in the ob-ocaml implementation will have a chance to
participate in the development.

The only issue I see with that approach is that different dimensions of
the incoming value are treated differently, i.e. the first dimension is
an array, the second is a tuple, how would the third of fourth
dimensions be represented?
It looks like nested arrays may be possible using Matrix primitives (see
[1]) maybe this would be preferable?

I'd recommend that you experiment with new changes locally, and then
send patches to the list where they can be reviewed and applied.
