F# 5 string interpolation

[AlexZeitler]

👋 Is ColoredPrintf expected to work with F# 5 string interpolation?

(tasks
   |> Array.iter (fun t -> colorprintf $"$gray[{t.Title}]"))

throws this error

Hi, not really this would need to essentially bump MasterOfFoo I think.

The principle of MasterOfFoo is that it's pretty much part of the code of the F# compiler extracted in a library. And for that to work the new code in the F# 5 compiler with string interpolation support need to be integrated into MasterOfFoo.

Thanks, understood. Do you plan to support it in the future?

[vbfox]

I took a stab at it and it seem to work but need more testing especially around version compatibility as it isn't very documented how FSharp.Core / Compiler / Runtime interacts here.

Anyway you can follow the progress on https://github.com/vbfox/MasterOfFoo/pull/5
