[Mono-dev] A possible implementation for AssemblyName.ReferenceMatchesDefinition

[Marek Safar]

Hi,

This API is broken by design and it's not clear what it should really do.
It'd probably be better to check with EF devs whether they really intended
to use it and for what purposes. Even for naive implementation please write
unit test and check whether it passes on .net
