+Summary: "newslot abstract virtual" should be treated equal to non-virtual
+
+MS csc.exe emits "call" for "newslot virtual final" methods while mcs 
+emits "callvirt" for "newslot virtual final".
+
+This difference is important as when the signature of the called method 
+is changed later to be virtual and is overriden code emitted by MS 
+csc.exe will still behave the same as it calls the same method but code 
+emitted by mcs will call the method that overrides the original one that 
+will result in different behavior.
+
+This difference is important when having non-virtual public methods that 
+implement interface methods (default behavior when their name and 
+signature match) as these non-virtual methods are emitted as "newslot 
+virtual final".
+
+This fix is requred to can corcompare safely treat non-virtual 
+and "newslot virtual final" as equal and thus this bug affects MS.NET 
+compatibility of our entire class library so I mark this bug as critical.
