Always happy to welcome new members to the F# community!
A single quote as a post fix to a name is just treated as any other character and therefore part of the identifier name. It often used to mean that the identifier represents a modified version of the same value.
By splice do you mean french quotes (« »)? If so then the ascii alterative is <@ @>.
Cheers,
Rob
Splice refers to the "§" symbol, used to reference a parameter from the evaluation context that may take different values at runtime (e.g. the "db" parameter for database connections in the FLinq samples).
This has no ASCII equivalent in 1.9.3.7, but later releases (which we're finalizing now) will use a prefix application of "%", e.g. "%db.Customers".
Thanks
Don
Thanks so much for the info. It really helps.
Is there also an alternative for the backtick ( ` ) so frustratingly missing from non-english keyboards?
No alternative for backtick.

Hi, all... please excuse the simplicity of these questions, but I can't seem to figure out two things.
The first is the single-quote character. I understand the it indicates a generic type when used as a prefix (ex: list<'a>). However, I've now seen several examples where it is used as a suffix (ex: let x' = foo). In this second usage, what does it signify? Is it just part of the identifer? or some special indicator? I've read both of the APress F# books and been through a lot of the online documentation and can't seem to find mention of it.
My second question refers to using LInQ to SQL from F#. Is there and ASCII alternative to the "splice" operator when working with quotations? This is not a critical issue, but it would be nice to avoid memorizing character codes, or to have to break my flow by going to the character map for a copy and paste.
Thanks for you patience with an F# "noob" who is still trying to figure his way around.
Cheers!
