[Mono-devel-list] Clear in ConstraintCollection and KeyRestrictionsin DbDataPermissionAttribute

[S Umadevi]

Boris
  Thanks for your reply. My concern was that do we go by the
specifications or by the behavior..
But in the current scenario, I think going by behavior woule be more
helpful

Also the currently checked in code throws exception in the scenario
mentioned below.. I guess I will just change the comment suitably

Thanks

Regarding  ConstraintCollection.Clear() : 
MS documentation not says that Clear should raise an exception if 
CanRemove is violated and actually exception is not thrown.
So this part of implementation can stay as is.
But additional point is that MS documentation does not say that 
exception raised if you perform Remove that violates CanRemove,
but actually exception is thrown.
In our code exception is not thrown and the code has the following 
comment :
//LAMESPEC: spec doesn't document the ArgumentException the
//will be thrown if the CanRemove rule is violated

I think this one should be changed.
