 Just for fun here is a list of next undocumented keywords.
 
 __makeref, __reftype, and __refvalue.

+This is wishlist.
+
+Support for this is going to take quite a bit of effort, and has very 
+few rewards. The __arglist keyword is, basically, only useful for 
+managed C++, but we dont really support that at all.
+
+I forget what the __*ref stuff is used for.
+
+IMHO, we should add the token to the parser, and throw a friendly 
+error when it is encountered ("__xxx is not supported yet, see bug 
+#59391").
+
+We might be able to do this post-1.0.
+
+WRT to the inability to do a specific error case, just ignore that.
+
+WRT to the incorrect methods, we have had this problem in the past. 
+What we need to do is to remove that method from corlib for now. The 
+only reason that method will ever be called is from Managed C++. 
+Since we dont support that case, its not really a problem.
