+Summary: TextReader missing Dispose() on 1.0 profile
+
+When I tested my vs2005 projects against xbuild, I found an annoying
+bug. My 2.0 code did not  compile. I attach a snippet, alongs with
+comments. It seems that 1.0 TextReader/Writer did not implement
+IDisposable (or implemented it explicitly), although I cannot find
+this info on msdn (there is only a note that their Dispose() methods
+are new in 2.0). However, as I compiled with gmcs, the error still
+arose:
+
+error CS0122: `System.IO.TextReader.Dispose(bool)' is inaccessible due
+to its protection level
+
+this time only with TextReader.
+
+First: it's a glitch in TextReader (it implements the interface
+explicitly, so the object is only disposable when cast to
+IDisposable), it's Dispose() implementation should be changed to this
+of TextWriter, this is also visible on class status pages.
