[Mono-dev] [Patch] gmcs considers bla<T> and bla{T} as illegal in a cref

[Atsushi Eno]

Novell bugzilla is too buggy to let me post my comments so I write
here instead:

It's not a fix but just a workaround, as it skips further syntax checks 
such as:
/// <seealso cref="List{*}" />
.. and optionally worse, error generation in the output xml such as
<seealso cref="!:List&lt;*&gt;"/>
