Random .NET and CoreCLR Funny / Notable excerpts:

• object.h: #define COW 0x04 (MOO, MOO - no, not bovine...)
• FileBasedResourceGroveler.GrovelForResourceSet(): (I wonder who came up with the name for this), also: "Consider modifying ... when we figure out serialization compat story..."; looks like they never got around to it.
• IsNullOK ok = NULL_NOT_OK: I read that as "Null OK? Ok... NULL_NOT_OK!"
• System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventLevel: That's a unique way to create an enum...
• VIEWED AS AN OPTIMIATION
• Is your IComparer bogus? Also why did they keep the custom sort code in the DataGridView and why can't I override it? Seems like it could be useful outside of it, maybe easier to maintain too.
• Why did .NET implement JSON parsing 6 times? Is JSON the tech demo for new C# and .NET features?
