Concisely creating an IDictionary<_,obj>

Question

Is there a shorter way of creating an IDictionary<_,obj>, possibly without boxing every value? This is what I have.

let values =
  [ \"a\"         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem in FsSql and I just tucked away boxing in a function:

let inline T (a,b) = a, box b
let values = dict [T("a",1); T("b","foo"); T("c",true)]
