Go-to-definition does not work on custom operators

[WardBrian]

Go-to-definition doesn't work on custom operators, which would be very useful for navigating DSLs.

For example,

type ast = Comment of string

let ( !// ) s = Comment s

let header = !//"This file generated by %%NAME%% "
(*            ^         *)

If I place my cursor at the point indicated by the ^, go-to-definition does nothing. By contrast, if the line is

let header = (!//)"This file generated by %%NAME%% "

Then go-to-definiton does work. Obviously this is not preferrable for unary operators, and defeats the purpose for binary ones.

Apologies if this issue belongs in ocamllsp or some other repo, I'm happy to re-create it there if so.

Thanks for reporting that issue @WardBrian, I will move it to Merlin since it it probably there that the problem should be solved.

Edit: I am not able to transfer the issue, can you re-open it there ? https://github.com/ocaml/merlin
