Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] Map: backport find_opt/update from 4.06

We are currently on OCaml 4.02 as minimum version.
To make the followup optimizations compile backport these functions from
OCaml 4.06.

This implementation is less efficient than the one in the 4.06 standard
library which has access to the internals of the Map.

I disagree with this argument. Exceptions in OCaml are cheap because they don't walk the stack and cut to the exception handler directly. Is there a reason why they could be expensive here? In any case, the code is correct.

+  let r = find_opt k t in

+  match r, r' with
+  | None, None -> t
+  | Some _, None -> remove k t
+  | Some r, Some r' when r == r' -> t
+  | _, Some r' -> add k r' t

This looks correct to me.
