Research the fsi code: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/blob/main/src/fsharp/fsi/fsimain.fs

...and document findings and recommendations.

Personally, I couldn't get the sample code to work on my Linux x64 box with dotnet SDK 5.0.6. It fails with some DLL missing. I couldn't install dotnet on my M1 Mac at all.
