| Hello,
| 
| The MS implementation of StringBuilder(int index, string value, int
| count) doesn't match the ECMA spec. It throws an exception for count < 1
| instead of count < 0. Which behavior do we want to implement, the ECMA
| one or the stricter one to be compatible with MS?
| - Juraj

In General we have been matching the MS behavior.  The MS docs (current ones
online) say that it throws if count is less than one.  So I guess we should
do the same.

We have a place to track these kind of discrepancies:
 /mcs/class/doc/API-notes

Maybe you can put a note in there?
