It’s merged!!

As I was very happy to announce on Discuss on 12 December, OCaml is Relocatable! Today, the final piece of the puzzle was merged, which is the necessary support to allow opam to take advantage of all this to be able to clone switches instead of recompiling them. Before this, you could rename a local switch, for example, but opam would still be compiling them from scratch. The fruits of this continue to be available through my opam-repository fork, as announced in September, and will be available out-of-the-box for the first alpha release of OCaml 5.5 early next year.
