[Mono-dev] TypeForwardedFrom

[Neale Ferguson]

So would my best approach be a case of saving the type information at the
same time the fullname information is saved in Assembly and then retrieving
it before the WriteAssemblyName() to get the forwarded name?

Out of curiosity shouldn't I find get_fullname() defined somewhere in the
source tree?
