When PropertyGrid and code serialization etc use properties via
System.ComponentModel it can use two methods called ShouldSerializeXXXXX and
ResetXXXXX where XXXXX is the property name.  (See e.g. bug 391924).

These methods are used only by Reflection and thus are generally defined as
private.  Should Class Status list such methods?  They are similar to the
DefaultValueAttribute.  However can they just be defined when their
functionality is seen missing?



(This functionality is described in MSDN at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.propertydescriptor.shouldserializevalue.aspx,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.propertydescriptor.resetvalue.aspx
and at "Default Values with the ShouldSerialize and Reset Methods" at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53b8022e.aspx).
