AFAIK, .NET does this when it runs an application. Does that mean it's
native code?

IMO, it means compiled and executed without a VM. Many Delphi
developers would also exclude a GC in that definition, that was my point
in asking.

I'm talking about how a
huge amount of the C# code I've encountered in the wild relies heavily
on the collection of intermediate instances created inline. And, as I
said, the fact that you really can't do LINQ any other way.

Certainly a good deal of C# code relies on it.

I guess I'm not sure what C# producing "native code" would really mean:
compiled to x86, no VM, but with a GC?
