FSharp 4.0 compatibility shim #2

Description

@forki

I'm not sure if this is the correct place, but I'd like to see a shim for F# 4.0 compatibility.

I see the following feature:

  • Create a .fs file with all the blessed 4.0 lib functions that are not available today (but already merged in official branch)
  • Make this file working standalone

Users could download the file and just remove it when F# 4.0 is available. Optionally one could use Paket to manage the version in client programs (see http://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/github-dependencies.html#Referencing-a-single-file).

Of course not all lib functions will have same performanve characteristics since we can't use all the low-level tricks. But having an easy way to use List.groupby and co. would be really helpful.
