Description
I think this page is missing a clarification about generalizable structures, for instance why is it possible to define an option or list of generic values but not an array, a seq, map or dictionary of them ie: why `[id;id]` alone is a valid expression but not `[| id;id |]`.
It seems this dates back to F# 2 https://stackoverflow.com/a/2758456/446822
