As far as I can tell, Type Providers are just a slicker way of having external codegen tools. So instead of "SoapToVBCode.exe" you have it wrapped up in a type provider and can just do "type MySoap = SoapProvider<http://wsdl>".

It seems like a useful feature but far from the power of having full macros.
