A well-designed interface offers lots of expressiveness with minimal implementation. OCaml programmers thus often implement just a few functions in an interface (module type), then use a functor to define the rest based on these definitions. This idiom, though useful, can be awkward, requiring a little repetition. To make this easier, Jane Street designed the "include functor" syntax. This video shows how it works and why you might want to use it.
