The code review checklist in my new client place has the following –

Class implementing Dispose and Finalize should have a call to GC.SupressFinalize in Dispose implementation

Why?

Should it not read as Class implementing IDisposable interface should have a call to GC.SupressFinalize in the Dispose implementation?

Or Am I missing something silly?
