See the example here under the "Conflict Resolution" heading: http://davefancher.com/2012/11/27/f-record-types/ Prefixing the type on a label seems inconsistent with how types are annotated elsewhere in the language. Perhaps something like this with the type annotation on the end would be more consistent: "let myRecord = {} : RecordTypeName"

Yes, as noted in the comments a type annotation can already be used. Don Syme, F# Language Evolution

You can already do this as follows: "let myRecord : RecordTypeName = {...}"

Very helpful, thank you. I can't recall seeing that elsewhere.
