Doh, that ARE NOT the depth value subtyping examples, rather... Kinda type covariance.
The, by value, in-depth subtyping:
module type A = sig val v: [<`A|`B] end;;
module type B = sig val v: [<`B] end;;
type a_t = (module A);;
type b_t = (module B);;
module B : B = struct let v = `B end;;
let (module M) = (fun (m : b_t) -> (m :> a_t)) (module B) in M.v;;
Error: Type b_t = (module B) is not a subtype of a_t = (module A)
