huh??

this developer stuff gets compiled -- indirectly -- into dlls by the
runtime -- by developers.
dlls containing classes inheriting from System/ classes.
depending on System/ intrinsics.
dlls consecutively linked into programs.

while developers expect them to work -- well, at least i would.

growing your would require recompilation for mono for any application
depending on regex support.  has .net compat been dropped from the
agenda and i haven't been notified?
