Implement OPL as a DSL in F#

I think that it can be valuable to offer OPL as a DSL in .NET. This can be an easy (cheap) way to combine the best of OPL and of the Cplex .NET API in one language. This way OPL remain for the definition of the problem but the control flow will be done in F#, a better GPL than JavaScript for optimization.
To illustrate what I mean, you can follow this link: http://strangelights.com/blog/archive/2008/09/21/1628.aspx
I remember that the code implementing the optimization DSL name OML was part of the Microsoft Solver Foundation in the FSharp sample directory.
