 Summary: System.Array methods called on implicit arrays generate error
 
 Calling any Collections.IList methods on an implicit array (string[])
 generate a compile error.  In this case I was calling Contains().  Compiles
 okay if you explicitly cast to IList.

+Test case:
+The first WriteLine compiles and runs correctly, the second does not
+compile...
+
+
+using System;
+using System.Collections;
+
+public static void Main ()
+{
+	string [] foo = new string[] { "alex", "rules" };
+	
+	Console.WriteLine ("Count: {0}, Contains 'alex': {1}",
+			   ((IList) foo).Count, 
+			   ((IList) foo).Contains ("alex"));
+	
+	Console.WriteLine ("Count: {0}, Contains 'alex': {1}",
+			   foo.Count, 
+			   foo.Contains ("alex"));
+}
