C5 doesn't seem to overlap very well with .NET 3.5, on the conceptual
level (doing stuff with LINQ is probably usually preferable to doing it
with C5's custom methods) as well as the implementational level (the Fun
delegates, HashSet, etc), so unless Mono compatibility was important,
I'd wait for C6.
Switching to a third-party library to get around the problems of
inheritance coupling seems a bit rash, and I can't see how C5 solves the
potential variance issues. Or maybe I'm being too judgmental?
