We should use the same namespace to keep compatibility with the
Microsoft API.

Steve has agreed to change the license and said (on a separate post on
the list) that he will reformat his existing notes and post them for the
sake of those working on the compiler.

System.Reflection is one of those pieces in Mono that is very advanced,
as the Mono C# compiler depends entirely on it to get its work done. 

Note also that the class status pages only show what is missing from a
class or what has known problems.  If a class is fully implemented, it
will not show up on the class status page (this is something that we
should probably make more obvious at some point, because its becoming
confusing).

Miguel.
