internal static Type reallyFindType(string type, bool throwOnFailure) 
{
#if WINRT
    // WinRT hates your favorite band too.
    return Type.GetType(type, false);
#else
    return AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
        .SelectMany(x => x.GetTypes())
        .Where(x => x.FullName == type)
        .FirstOrDefault();
#endif
}

explain?

@nuclearsandwich This is trying to find a Type in all the loaded assemblies. Unfortunately, there is no way in WinRT to get the loaded assembly list, or to do a type search that isn't limited to the executing assembly.
