Int.of_string failure

[Francois Berenger]

(also true for Caml.int_of_string):

The following work:
# Float.of_string "    3.12";;
- : Core.Std.Float.t = 3.12
# Float.of_string "3.12";;
- : Core.Std.Float.t = 3.12
Int.of_string "3";;
- : Core.Std.Int.t = 3

The following does not:
Int.of_string " 3";;
Exception: (Failure "Int.of_string: \" 3\"").

I don't understand why. Bug?

I guess a scanf will work. But I think Int.of_string should work too.

Regards,
F.
