RE: [DotGNU]NEWBIE TODO: Fix MemoryStream class

[Thong \(Tum\) Nguyen]

Patch has been sent :-).

I've also changed the default behaviour of MemoryStreams to align with
MS and Mono.

A MemoryStream that hasn't been written to has a default capacity of 0
(instead of 16). This capacity is set to 1024 on first write and doubles
thereafter (meaning you should get only ~ O(log2(n/1024)) array
reallocations...or something like that ;)).

The output from the test case now matches the output of both Mono and
MS.
