The following code ends up reading all of FSharp.Core.dll and one of mscorlib.dll/system.runtime.dll/netstandard.dll into byte arrays upon type provider instantiation:
This work is unnecessary because the F# compiler already knows this information. However, changing this would require work both in here and the compiler. Perhaps there's a cheaper way than allocating multiple MB on the LOH?
