TypeForwardedToAttribute: Offer a link to the destination

.NET 4.0 has a few types with the TypeForwardedToAttribute applied.

It would be nice to have a link to the destionation type/member.

    Hi.

    Taking the type System.Threading.SemaphoreFullException as an example, if I view the assembly information for System, in the disassembler pane I see
    [assembly: TypeForwardedTo(typeof(SemaphoreFullException))]
    and the hyperlinked SemaphoreFullException does take me to the new home for the type in mscorlib.

    Are you suggesting that the type should also appear in the class/member selection pane so that if you expand the tree at the node System.Threading you'd see SemaphoreFullException next to the type Semaphore as you do when viewing the 2.0 libraries? This would mean that you can get to the destination type without having to go up to the assembly level. That sounds like a good idea to me and I'll log it.
