 Since we dont support that case, its not really a problem.

 The method/keyword is accessible from C# too.
 
 See my second example. This is C# code.

+The __arglist stuff is not supported by Microsoft. The only reason it 
+exists at all is so that they can create methods for corlib.
+
+I have never seen code using __arglist floating around. For C# code, 
+there is no advantage over param arrays 
+(http://www.iunknown.com/000062.html).
+
+I dont think there is any way this would get into 1.0. The Novell 
+team will probably be busy doing other stuff. I could probably do it, 
+but have other things to do.
+
+Anyways, the new feature freeze is really beta 2.
