Description

DrillSergeant makes heavy use of `dynamic` and `Task` behind the scenes when implementing steps. Neither is well supported in F#. By default, the `task` computational expression in F# returns `Task` and the closest equivalent to `dynamic` is to cast back to `IDictionary` and overload the `?<-` operator.

We should add additional bindings that are more friendly to F#. This could include an auxiliary hooks library to predefine short-hands and/or generate additional overloads to the behavior extensions.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the behavior extensions that use dynamic and Task, then determine which F# bindings or overloads are needed; done means F# callers can use the step implementation without the stated dynamic and Task limitations.
