[Mono-dev] MonoListWrapper WIP - code review/feedback

[Bartosz Przygoda]

Hi,

Perfect timing, as only yesterday I was wondering how to elegantly handle
List<T> from within the native, as I never worked with anything generic
before.

A question, any particular reason you've put it in mono clone? I'd like to
fetch the sources, preferably in a form that would allow me easy sync or
even some pull requests, but it's not feasible in this setup...
