F# ≥ C# (ASCII string definition)

When go over the data definition in F#, I found the string ASCII definition in F# which was new to me. The ASCII string uses "B" as suffix and it represent an ASCII string and internally it is a byte[].

let asciiString = "abc"B;

In the C#, I have to do

string value = "abc";

// Convert the string into a byte[]. 

byte[] asciiBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(value);

This small syntax sugar would help me a lot when I did some programming targeting to PLC and other hardware.
