[Mono-dev] DirectoryInfo cache

[Atsushi Eno]

The sample code is wrong. Directory.Delete(DirectoryInfo) does not
exist. If you mean Directory.Delete(string) then it is an expected
behavior as Robert pointed out (DirectoryInfo is a cache).
After DirectoryInfo.Delete(), its "Exists" property returns false.
