This is the most interesting point made so far. Agreed, I had not considered the likes of FSI. That does come with the issue of being painful reading XML config from app.config files, but can easily be handled via what we have.

Would you consider this to be out of the question:

    open CorrugatedIron.Comms
    
    let cluster = RiakCluster.CreateFromConfig("section", "path/to/file.config")
    let client = cluster.CreateClient()

You should at least offer a no config file option, so I can just point to my localhost when testing things out.
