So it is possible, which is nice to know. Your blog post however
reinforces my statement that we shouldn't fix the "bug". As a developer
you know you are going to be mocking your code and can add the
InternalsVisibleTo attribute if you want to. This doesn't work with
someone elses code but it doesn't make sense to try and rely on behavior
that an outside library has explicitly marked internal.
