Commented Unassigned: A "public class" declared inside @functions is generated as a static class. [137]

In RazorGenerator 1.6.3 a construct such as the following:

@functions {

public class MyClass
{
public string SomeMember { get; set; }
}
}

will produce a public static class in the generated code.

If the public keyword is omitted (making the class private), the class is not generated as static.

Comments: Fair enough. I think I misunderstood what you were getting at with regards to it perhaps being "special behaviour" specifically for MVC 3.
