(heh, somehow I manage to keep hitting this - from three years ago: #33)

As a related matter, I just checked the opam-repository and it's unfortunately very divided on whether lwt needs curses or not:

$ find . -name opam | xargs grep --files-with-match curses | sort
./lwt.2.4.5/opam
./lwt.2.4.6/opam
./lwt.2.4.7/opam
./lwt.2.4.8/opam
./lwt.2.5.0/opam
./lwt.2.5.1/opam
./lwt.2.5.2/opam

$ find . -name opam | xargs grep --files-without-match curses | sort
./lwt.2.3.2/opam
./lwt.2.4.0/opam
./lwt.2.4.1/opam
./lwt.2.4.2/opam
./lwt.2.4.3/opam
./lwt.2.4.4/opam
./lwt.2.6.0/opam
./lwt.2.7.0/opam

I know lwt only depends on curses because it builds a custom toplevel, but it would be good to be consistent (and obviously I'd vote for including the dependency, since that makes my life easier ;))

I know the toplevel is deprecated and probably only on life support at this point. But it would be nice if it was its own opam sub package as well as I'm not sure how long we'd wait for 3.0.

Thanks for this, and the other PR.

I'm pretty sure simple-top isn't used anymore, and we will just remove it completely, in the next major version of Lwt (4.0.0, I guess). Of course, that will be preceded by proper warnings and announcements.

3.0.0 is coming out this weekend (hopefully).
