MLBasis includes the signature, structure and functor definition as part of basdec.

This MLton feature will be difficult to support in MLKit. The feature can be simulated at the file-level, however.

To implement the feature, a possible path would be to generate "rebinding-code" dynamically and store it in a file in the MLB directory (with a name generated from the hash of its content)... I'll reopen this issue - maybe someone will attack it at some point...

@melsman First, I implemented the parser eldesh@893d62f.
Is this a reasonable starting point?
What should I do next? Where should I make changes to achieve it?

@MatthewFluet
Aborted attempt to automatically generate sources-mlkit.mlb files
56f841f 
Since MLKit doesn't support module-level
entities (melsman/mlkit#74), we attempt to
automatically generate `bind.sml` files.

However, SML doesn't allow `functor` rebinding: `functor Foo = Foo`.
