In this case a binding that had type "a -> b" now became

  (a -> b F.return) F.result

For example, this binding:

  let mysql_init = foreign "mysql_init"
    (T.mysql_opt @-> returning T.mysql_opt)

had type "T.mysql_opt -> T.mysql_opt" but after the change it became

  (T.mysql_opt -> T.mysql_opt F.return) F.result

This way I can't use it as a function anymore. Is this expected?

Thanks,
Andre
