I didn't mean that semantic patching was used in the same way as metaprogramming, but they are certainly analogous to each other. In one case, the transformed code is applied as a patch back on the source. In the other case, the transformed code is immediately passed to the compiler.

Anyhow .. for OCaml refactoring, Jane Street sponsored this project last summer. It's also something that Eclipse + the OCaml Eclipse plugin claims to do. I have not used either.
