[one, two, three, four, five] produce a map {3:[one, two], 4:[four, five], 5:[three]} which sorts elements into map entries based on their length
let catmap = (List.foldLeft (fun (acc : Map<int, List<string> >) (e : string) -> if (Map.mem e.Length acc) then (Map.add e.Length ((Map.find e.Length acc) @ [e]) acc) ; else (Map.add e.Length [e] acc)) (Map.empty) list)
let lengthMap =
["one"; "two"; "three"; "four"; "five"]
