The reason I ask this is because the Mono site states quite =
categorically ...=20
=20
The Mono C# compiler is considered feature C# 1.0 complete at this point =
and mature. MCS is able to
compile itself and many more C# programs (there is a test suite included =
that you can use). It is routinely
used to compile Mono, roughly 1.7 million lines of C# code.=20
Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, a Common Language Runtime =
(CLR) for the Common
Language Infrastructure (CLI) and a set of class libraries.
=20
... but when we look at the class-status pages, they clearly show that =
there are still a lot of features to be implemented. In my mind, the two =
items do not marry. Could you please explain this to me?=20
=20
Thanks in advance
