Generic type definition syntax on F#

Question

This is not a big deal, but is there any way in F# to get a generic type definition without calling GetGenericTypeDefinition() ? IComparable<_> is IComparable<object> (or whatever type is inferred) and IComparable<> is a syntax error.

VB.NET

GetType(IComparable(Of ))

C#

typeof(IComparable<>)

F#

typeof<IComparable<_>>.GetGenericTypeDefinition()

Answer 1

You want "typedefof"

printfn "%s" (typedefof<list<int>>).Name
