Research direction

Start by tracing the existing infrastructure for collection navigation properties that implement IEnumerable but not ICollection, then locate the model-configuration entry points for collection manipulation. Review how compiled models are created and incrementally loaded. Done means the model can configure Add, Remove, and Contains methods or delegates without conflicting with compiled-model loading.

Description

area-change-tracking

Most of the infrastructure is in place to support collection navigation properties that implement IEnumerable but not ICollection. The part missing is the ability to configure the model with appropriate methods or delegates to use for manipulating the collection. Keep in mind that whatever is done here should be something that doesn't conflict with the idea of creating a compiled model which can then be incrementally loaded.
