Bug description

I find the following quite confusing

 ocaml
        OCaml version 4.02.3                                                                                                                                    
# f bla:i;;
Error: Syntax error
# (f bla:i);;
Error: Unbound type constructor i

The error came up while forgetting to add the ~ to a labelled argument.
