 What do you mean by wrong semantics? Do you mean that our
 implementation has different semantics than the ones in .NET? Or do
 you mean that, in general, the semantics of these methods in the .NET
 Base Class Library are unintuitive? If the latter is the case, the
 solution would be for you to write your own Collection library.

+Oops, all of my comments dissapeared ...
+
+GetRange, ReadOnly and FixedSize should return *wrappers* but mono 
+returns *copies*.
+
+I've written a completely new version of ArrayList that does this 
+(and fixes some other small problems ;)) and have posted it to the 
+developers list.
