Re: deprecated: ISO-Latin1 characters in identifiers, plus Illegal character

You seem to be writing
  #use??"gen_intf".ml;;
instead of
  #use "gen_intf".ml;;

The subset of ISO-Latin1 that intersects with ASCII and UTF-8 is allowed,
the compiler will complain on the rest (typically accented letters of
various European languages).
