title: Is there a function in the F# standard library to generate a constant function?
body: <p>I.e., is there a function like this in the standard library?</p>
  
  <pre><code>let ret x _ = x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To keep code readable, I'd like to minimize the number of home-brew basic building functional building blocks and use stuff that exists instead.</p>
