Allow function names to end with a question mark. [12533019]

I find it really elegant in some language where predicate functions can end with a question mark. Consider odd? 5 vs isOdd 5 or areRelated a b vs related? a b There might be some reason why it's a terrible idea grammar-wise or something in F#. I'm still very much a newbie I'm afraid. I apologize if it's featured in a FAQ I missed or even here and I search badly.

You can get this to work with backtick declarations which let you put lots of stuff e.g. spaces in the declaration e.g. let odd? a = a % 2 <> 0 Intellisense in e.g. Visual Studio doesn't work for them though, unfortunately.
