Nice thing you can do in F# that you can't do in C#, pulling a reference to an array element as a local var.

let byrefArrayElement() = 
  let arr = [| 1; 2; 3; |]; 
  let mutable x = &arr.[0]
  x <- 2 
  printfn "%A" arr 

byrefArrayElement()
val byrefArrayElement : unit -> unit

Full name: Script.byrefArrayElement
val arr : int []
val mutable x : byref<int>
val printfn : format:Printf.TextWriterFormat<'T> -> 'T

Full name: Microsoft.FSharp.Core.ExtraTopLevelOperators.printfn
