I disagree on the cause - partly coming from a Java background, where
this has been a fairly lively topic for discussion for years.

Have a look at

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4211070

for views on both sides. (I haven't read the whole thing.)

As I said, I'd love to see a solution to this, but I can't see it being
part of .NET itself. Maybe .NET's successor...
