merlin gives syntax error on #use directive (or #require) about merlin HOT 1 OPEN

I second this : using merlin in Emacs+Tuareg is a thing, and this fails if there is a directive.

Note however that many directives can be replaced by their definition from https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/toplevel/topdirs.ml.

For instance, #use "thing" seems to be replaceable with Topdirs.dir_use Format.std_formatter "thing".

In fact this is even better because you can use OCaml expressions, including variables, to build the file name : I am a fan of Topdirs.dir_directory ("/path-to-precompiled-files/ ^ Sys.ocaml_version), which lets me put *.cmo files for different OCaml versions in their respectives directories.

from merlin.
