I don't know. I know that they did the silly thing and asked the application
programmer to make the decision instead of the compiler. :-) How that
manages to be at the application source-code level for C# I can't imagine. I
suspect it's interacting with the AOT compilation instead of (for some
reason) being a compiler command-line switch or something.

Even without modern libs. Or at least not modern standard libs. I'm saying
that using C# 4.0 isn't really a problem for people writing their own code,
even when C# 5.0 comes out. Why would it be?
