More Crap

Unsafe fixed arrays (of values only) in the 2005 release of dotnet?

These arrays are stored inline, and, I believe, only work with value types. Since length information is omitted, no range checking is performed; hence, code that uses this feature must be declared unsafe.
Didn't someone say something once about piling feature on top of feature? Oh, yeah. It's from a well designed language that has lasted more than 25 years and yet is the foundation of some of the most innovative work on the web today.
