[MonoDevelop] Goto class patch

[Jacob Ilsø Christensen]

Hi.

The patch won't work unless the class is followed by whitespace. So:

ClassA a;

should jump to ClassA if you hit Ctrl+. on ClassA.

Yes, tooltips would be a nice feature to have. I will add that over
time. For now I will fix the irregularities with classes and move on
to fields and methods.
