[Mono-dev] gmcs and The Future

[russell.kay at realtimeworlds.com]

Well it was a thought, we are looking for something like this in the
future for our own classes (particularly maths heavy functions), so this
is something that we can overcome ourselves (we are planning on using
something like Cecil to rewrite the assemblies), but if it was available
within the compiler then it would be much better.

Even if it only did it within the security constraints that it has and
knows about.

That's just not possible for a large majority of the cases, as it
would cause a lot of access exceptions. You can't simply inline an
instance method which reads a private field in its own type, inside
another type for instance.
