Nice work. But this is not a fix, but a new feature that needs an RFC. (Which should also document the effect on tooling (where it is / can be a breaking change).

Thank you for the contribution. The RFC makes sense, it also acts as a notification mechanism for other interested parties (IDEs and Fantomas come to mind). Parts of the RFC text on usage should then also make their way into the docs.

It's definitely good to see this early in the F#11 development cycle, as it gives enough time to others for adjustment 👍

How is the RFC process working? Do I have to make it, or someone else?

It is typically created by somebody interested in the feature. The process is described in the readme of the lang-design repo and further documentation is in the RFC template. I think the RFC can be rather brief in this case.

The RFC is now approved and merged.
