Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided script, first with the generic List declarations commented out and then uncommented. Trace the REPL's script execution and printing path to determine why the generic declarations suppress all output; done means the script prints both messages in either form.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you set a value to be a generic type, the script no longer prints.

printfn "Hello world"

let test = 0

// prevents printing
//let mutable test2 : List<int> = []

// prevents printing
//let test3 : List<int> = []

let test4 : int = 0

printfn "script complete"

The above will print, but uncommenting the lines mentioned will stop the script from printing any output.
