Type.IsPublic returns wrong answer for pointer and byref types

[GrabYourPitchforks]

Even though int is public, int* and int& aren't. Sample code below.

Console.WriteLine(typeof(int).MakePointerType().IsPublic); // prints 'False', expected 'True'
Console.WriteLine(typeof(int).MakeByRefType().IsPublic); // prints 'False', expected 'True'

Perhaps an oversight when copying the elemental Type's visibility attributes into the pointer / byref Type we manfacture behind the scenes?

Moving to future; not in scope for 3.0.

@GrabYourPitchforks I would like to work on that, so please assign me to this issue.

Hey @BartoszKlonowski are you still planning to work on this issue? In the meanwhile I'll change milestone as it's not critical for 6.0

[BartoszKlonowski]

@krwq Yes, and sorry for the delay. I had it planned for this week, but it turned out to be busier then I thought.
It will for sure be delivered within next week.

[BartoszKlonowski]

@krwq Unfortunately I need to postpone my work on this as I currently don't have enough time to spend to deep into this, sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks for the heads up @BartoszKlonowski! I think we all understand busy schedules interfering with these things. :)
