  The place to make suggestions, discuss and vote on F# language and core library features

  

  I mostly write F# so I can only speak for F#, but if you want you can create a module which extends Seq to add the OCaml names. I suspect the same is possible in OCaml. The authors are not trying to impede compatibility, but compatibility is not a goal. If you value compatibility, or adhering to ML norms, and you use F#, I recommend you (kindly) advocate for it in relevant issues on the F# language discussion repo. https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues
