+Summary: Volatile emit/use missing
+
+Discussion topic.
+
+Due to missing features in MS.NET Reflection, MCS can not probe whether a
+field is volatile, nor set the information to make a field volatile.
+
+This is done by adding the `ModReq' flag to the field type:
+
+.field reqd [mscorlib]System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsVolatile int32 a
+
+Maybe we could store this information in the FieldAttributes (using an
+unused bit there) for the time being, because using a dynamic invocation
+for "IsVolatile" might be very expensive.
