+Summary: TypeForwardToAttribute support
+
+We don't support TypeForwardToAttribute which replaces type references with
+ type references to another "destination" type.
+
+seealso:

+
+This attribute disappears when emitted to an assembly.
+
+--------
+using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+[assembly:CLSCompliant (true)]
+[assembly:TypeForwardedTo (typeof (string))]
+public class Test
+{
+        public static void Main ()
+        {
+                foreach (Attribute a in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
+().GetCustomAttributes (true))
+                        Console.WriteLine (a.GetType ());
+        }
+}
+--------
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+-- Compile with gmcs and run:
+
+System.CLSCompliantAttribute
+System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute
+System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TypeForwardedToAttribute
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+-- Compile with csc and run:
+
+System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute
+System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilationRelaxationsAttribute
+System.CLSCompliantAttribute
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+consistently.
