Support for arrays with non-zero lower bounds #2245

Low priority. Not exposed from any of the mainstream .NET languages.

The work would likely span:

System.Private.CoreLib support
Type system support
Compiler support
Support in the reflection metadata format
Support in the native layout metadata format
Runtime type loader support

What is the purpose of this?

jkotas commented 7 years ago

.NET Framework and .NET Core on CoreCLR support them today for historic reasons. It is very rarely used feature; it may never get done for CoreRT. That's why it is tagged with P2 tag.
