title: F# Shorthand for mapping over a list of records & grabbing a named value
body: <p>I'm mapping over a list of records in F# and grabbing a named value:</p>
  <pre class="lang-ml prettyprint-override"><code>type Person = { FirstName: string; LastName: string }
  
  let people = [
      { FirstName = &quot;Whitney&quot;; LastName = &quot;Houston&quot; }
      { FirstName = &quot;Tina&quot;; LastName = &quot;Turner&quot; }
      { FirstName= &quot;Donna&quot;; LastName = &quot;Summer&quot; }
  ]
  
  people |&gt; List.map (fun person -&gt; person.LastName)
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>In the Elm language, you can do something like</p>
  <pre><code>people |&gt; List.map .LastName
  </code></pre>
  <p>Is some sort of shorthand like that possible in F#?</p>
