Infoof explained in MS blog

I hate using magic strings to identify tokens - methods, properties, events, ... It's a problem when using Reflection and especially XAML. I even wrote a short article about a workaround: Strong: Reflection without magic strings[^]. Eric Lippert is on the MS C# compiler team and he has written a blog entry about why this is not in the language: http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2009/05/21/in-foof-we-trust-a-dialogue.aspx[^] We have
