The F# Formatting library lets you do things like re-order code and hide less important code for documentation purposes. You can create clean documents presenting code as a narrative. http://tpetricek.github.io/FSharp.Format

I think there is sound theoretical basis to pronounce inverting the traditional true/false bit identification a mistake. Yarvin as much as admits this in his Lambda Conference recording on YouTube.
