[Mono-list] Implementing attribute-based code generation

[Raibaud, Benjamin]

It seems to me you are re-creating C++ macros... (Like ASSERT...). Maybe you
just need a C# pre-compiler embedded in your IDE ?

a problem may be that the text in the precondition etc. would need special 
IDE support for IntelliSense etc.
if it was in the code block instead of being a string it would be better 
maybe
