After glancing at the code, it seems the generator already handles
<implements> for C types, so I suspect it just needs a tweak to allow C#
type names in the <implements> child nodes?

However, it looks like the metadata handler will also need altering,
right? At the moment, there don't appear to be any manual uses of
<implements> in the *.metadata files...

Unfortunately the C# wrapped versions are broken as it stands. I've
attached a patch that corrects the signatures for those methods...

Mike, okay to commit?

Looking at this now... I suspect it's going to be a real pain to test.
Thanks for the tips.

Regards,

Lee.
