LanguageFeature.OpenTypeDeclaration has shipped since F# 5.0 and is enabled for every selectable language version (the minimum accepted --langversion is 8.0). Its feature flag can therefore never be turned off, so it is dead configuration. This issue removes the flag and collapses the guarded code to its enabled behaviour.
What to remove
- The
OpenTypeDeclaration case in LanguageFeatures.fs and LanguageFeatures.fsi
- Its entry in the
features map and its GetFeatureString arm
- The
featureOpenTypeDeclaration string in FSComp.txt
- Every
SupportsFeature LanguageFeature.OpenTypeDeclaration / checkLanguageFeatureAndRecover … OpenTypeDeclaration guard — keep only the enabled path and delete the legacy branch
- Adjust affected tests and baselines accordingly
Consequence: --disableLanguageFeature:OpenTypeDeclaration is no longer a recognised feature name.
