bug#29414: 24.5; failure to configure a particular Ocaml indentation par

Hi,

I would like to configure Emacs, while editing Ocaml code, so that it
indents the code consistently with the way how "Ocaml Batteries Included" is 
indented.
(or any kind of sane convention --- I don't care particularly which one
 as long as I can override the default behavior which I find distracting)

However, my attempts to do this failed.

This is what I have tried to do:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- I have "tuareg 2.1.0" installed

- My "~/.emacs" file contains only the following line:

    (load "/home/mkosik/.opam/4.06.0/share/emacs/site-lisp/tuareg-site-file")

  It is the line that was printed as a suggestion at the end of the Tuareg 
installation (via OPAM).

- NOTE: The designated file

    /home/mkosik/.opam/4.06.0/share/emacs/site-lisp/tuareg-site-file

  does not exist. Is that to be expected?

- I go to this line:

    
https://github.com/ocaml-batteries-team/batteries-included/blob/e069e28678a0d15d338721e1ff5e480fe0ad26c5/src/batComplex.ml#L82-L83

- change the indentation to a non-default value (e.g. moving that line 4 more 
spaces to the right)
  (NOTE: at this point, I have just randomly chosen any non-default value)

- I run the following command:

    M-x smie-config-set-indent

  I see the following question

    Adjust rule (:before "|-or" -> nil) to (default 4)

  I press ENTER.

  Then I see a message:

    Added rule :before "|-or" -> 4 (via nil)

- I run the following command:

    smie-config-save

  I see a message:

    Local rules saved in `smie-config`

- I run the following command:

    M-: (print smie-config)

  I see

    ((tuareg-mode (4 :before "|-or" nil)))
    ((tuareg-mode (4 :before "|-or" nil)))

  I have no idea whether this an expected or unexpected value. :-/

- I run the following command:

    M-x customize-save-customized

  I see a message:

    Wrote /home/mkosik/.emacs

- Now my ~/.emacs file looks like this:

    (load "/home/mkosik/.opam/4.06.0/share/emacs/site-lisp/tuareg-site-file")
    (custom-set-variables
     ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
     ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
     ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
     ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
     '(inhibit-startup-screen t)
     '(smie-config (quote ((tuareg-mode (4 :before "|-or" nil))))))
    (custom-set-faces
     ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
     ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
     ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
     ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
     )

  NOTE: I have no idea whether this is an expected value or not.
        I do not understand the meaning of "smie-config" variable.

I am now going to test whether my setting had any effect, so:

- I close my Emacs window.

- I launch Emacs again with the same file and I place the cursor to the same 
line as before:

    
https://github.com/ocaml-batteries-team/batteries-included/blob/e069e28678a0d15d338721e1ff5e480fe0ad26c5/src/batComplex.ml#L82-L83

- I press TAB.

  What I see is that the whole line is shifted to the right by 2 columns.

I don't understand why by 2 columns to the right?

Why wasn't the line indented by 4 columns to the right
(this is what I defined above as desired indentation).

Incidentally, whatever value I set as a desired indentation,
after I restart Emacs and press TAB on a given line,
the line always moves by 2 places to the right. Why?
