* Pentole
Pentole aims to be a companion to the F# standard library. It consists of
various extensions to the core library types and additional libraries for common
operations.

This is a list of the provided modules:
- Option: extend the ~Option~ type with auxiliary functions
- Path: datatype to represent Posix paths
- Result: extend the ~Result~ type with auxiliary functions
- String: extensive string manipulation library
- TestExtensions: provide methods that complements ~Nunit.Framework.Assert~ 
* Goals
The goals of Pentole are the following:
- target developers that work with distributed systems
- avoid OOP
- use exceptions exclusively when they are the most intuitive approach for the
  code at hand
- prefer the ocaml coding style rather than C# Pascal Case oriented style
- avoid dependencies to other companion libraries ~FSharpPlus~ and ~FSharpx~,
  thus reimplementing some of their functions verbatim
- be well documented and tested
- target GNU/Linux **exclusively**
