MethodBody.GetILAsByteArray makes it not easy for parsing IL. Parsing is complex and error-prone task. Why not implement it by Microsoft?

CodeDom seems for me completely evil. Here is Reflection.Emit and it is more powerful, performant and flexible.

It may be usable to make CodeDome/Reflection.Emit provider. So it would be CodeDomeProvider that compile CodeDom tree right to AssemblyBuilder. By the way, XML Serialization performance would be improved much in this way.

I doubt why on Earth XML Serialization use CodeDom to build serializer. In .NET early times it might be acceptable. But now XML going to be used for much broad purposes. I need speed, but XML Serialization even today use spawned process csc.exe to compile on-the-fly. I hate it!

If you implement RegEx with Reflection.Emit, drop this ugly CodeDom implementation of XML Serialization.

Delegates performs ugly on long call list. Try to make 10,000 long multicast list, call it and it will stay working for ~20min!
