A bare bone implementation for retrieving user secrets using F#

I am new to f# (coming from c#) and I was looking to retrieve user secrets for a bare bone CLI project. I did not want to import ApplicationBuilder or ServiceCollection since I did not need to create something more complex (like an API or web app) which relies on several dependencies.
I wanted to use IConfigurationRoot which only requires 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets'. Initially I had some trouble implementing it but I finally found it.

install the aforementioned nuget package

Create the builder:

type Program = class end

[<EntryPoint>]
let main _ =
    let config =
        ConfigurationBuilder()
            .AddUserSecrets<Program>() 
            .Build()

    // config["secrets:your-secret"] 
    0

Why do you need a Program class? Shoud we not write idiomatic F#?

F# CLI apps typically just use modules and keep it clean and functional. But AddUserSecrets() expects a class or a type.
