+I should also mention that InvokeMember finds the field in Microsoft's
+implementation. (I haven't tested the exact attachment I've posted
+here, but I've previously tested similar code.)
+
+Being able to specify that the thing you are invoking is either a
+method, field or property is useful in my case because I have written
+a library which allows Ruby code to use .NET libraries, and Ruby
+doesn't differentiate between methods, fields and properties. (So when
+I have Ruby code "foo.Something", I don't know what Something will be.
+Of course, I could try method and then catch the exception.)
+
+(I don't know what the ECMA specification says, sorry.)
