I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the
MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#).
Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed,
which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and
result properties and correctness is checked at
Petr, make sure you require users to set their *User-Agent* string. Your
library should not use any defaults.
For the examples I would recommend this *User-Agent:*
*MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; mycoolt...@example.com)
LinqToWiki/1.0*

I didn't realize that was a requirement for libraries (the library
allowed setting the UserAgent, but it didn't force it until now).
I have made that change and setting the UserAgent is now required.

Thanks for fixing it so fast!
In the constructor, you might want to add your lib's ID to the useragent
param:
UserAgent = useragent.Trim() + LinqWiki/1.0;
so that it would be possible not only to see that a bot is broken, but also
catch framework bugs if all bots show the same problem.
