How to apply an attribute to the return value of a member?
f#

I have a custom attribute that applies to return values from methods.

This gives "This attribute is not valid for use on this language element":

[<return:Attr>]

member this.Method() =

    ...

    retValue

Where should the attribute be applied?

[Can't figure out how to quote code properly here!]

.

<?xml:namespace prefix = return /><return:Attr>See the docs:</return:Attr>

<return:Attr>[link:msdn.microsoft.com]</return:Attr>

<return:Attr>Examples:</return:Attr><return:Attr>

type MyAttribute() =
    inherit System.Attribute()

let Bar (x:int) : [<return:My>] int = x

type Foo() =
    member this.Bar (x:int) : [<return:My>] int = x

</return:Attr>
