F# SRTP of Type Classes from OO Perspective

Similar to http://fssnip.net/7Tr, this implementation translates the Scala from https://functional.works-hub.com/blog/Type-classes-from-OO-perspective but uses statically resolved type parameters to show how something similar could be done with computation expression instances. It's really too bad you have to pass an instance of the implementation. It would be nice to be able to specify a module or class with a static member.
