Description
I see the following when offering this line through an ocaml format dune file:
8 | (dirs *)
^^^^
Error: Unknown constructor dirs
it seems to work as expected in a static dune file though.

Research direction
Reproduce the (dirs *) example through an OCaml format dune file and compare it with the same expression in a static dune file. Trace why the formatter reports Unknown constructor dirs; done means the expression is accepted and behaves consistently in both contexts.
