+Summary: [2.0] Missing support for RuntimeWrappedException
+
+In .NET 2.0 one can use the RuntimeCompatibilityAttriubte assembly-level 
+attribute to instruct the runtime to automatically wrap non-Exception 
+throwables in a RuntimeWrapperException.
+
+This allows one to catch these exception in a catch (Exception) {} block 
+instead of a catch {} block.
+
+More information on this is available here:

+4d40-a4d0-c3fbd3d12716
+
+I've attached a patch which adds unit tests to verify both the 1.0 and 
+2.0 profile behaviour with regards to non-Exception throwables.
