It's not intended to be useful, it was started as a learning exercise. As it became clear it would take a little longer than the couple of hours I originally estimated it at, I stopped work on it for the moment, till I have more free time. ## History -FSharp.AbsIL was originally a separate research project by Don Syme at MSR Cambridge, as time went by it became clear that F# was the more interesting/important -research area, so FSharp.AbsIL was rolled into the F# compiler.
