Will do.

ps. I'm trying things like this without success. Studying that fixup
code :)


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata>
 <remove-node path="/api/namespace/object[@cname='TnyList']/method[@cname='foreach']" />
</metadata>

Okay, will do. Some of the compilation errors are about actual words
being used that generate to a C# construction that uses a C# keyword.

Might be hard to fix. Lucky I don't really need them, although having
access the the C developer's fast foreach implementation of the list
could become useful when implementing a IList with a IEnumeratable, etc.

I'm guessing that if I want to add an 'implements', I do something like
this to the metadata file:

  <add-node path="/api/namespace/object[@cname='TnyList']/implements/interface[@name='IList']" />

And then make a List.custom that implements all that IList needs (which
can be done with tny's list API).

Right? (it's a guess)
