While the API is available in Xamarin, it is a no-op in that platform.

While the attribute is surfaced on Xamarin, it has no effect on the search paths.

Thanks @migueldeicaza. We can add a note to the remarks section talking about this. What would be the appropriate thing to say here? That the attribute is not supported in Xamarin?

I think this would work:

"This attribute has no effect on the Xamarin platforms or the Mono runtime"
