Bilingual "hello world"

Here is a fun (and slightly useless) hack:

#cd "."(*
echo "Hello world"
<<"OCAMLCODE_END"
*)
let () = print_endline "Bonjour le monde"
(*
OCAMLCODE_END
#*)

This program is both a shell program and an ocaml program. If you run it using sh it will print "Hello world" but if you run it in ocaml it will output "Bonjour le monde" (Ocaml is a french programming language after all).

There is actually a small interest in this hack: suppose you want to run an ocaml script but need to make a couple of checks before running it (for instance checking whether findlib is installed or the interpreter is recent enough) you can now bundle it as a shell executable that calls itself again after having done the checks as an ocaml program.
