When the F# compiler compiles an operator expression, it generates a method that has a compiler-generated name for that operator. This is the name that appears in the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) for the method, and also in reflection and IntelliSense. You do not normally need to use these names in F# code.
The following table shows the standard operators and their corresponding generated names.
