+Summary: delegate with params array not handled correctly
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing. 
+Description of Problem: 
+ 
+If you define a delegate with variable number of parameters: 
+ 
+   delete void Foo( string format, params object[] args ); 
+ 
+Then if you try and call it with no additional arguments, the compiler 
+fails: 
+   void Handler( string format, params object[] args ) {} 
+ 
+   Foo foo = new Foo( Handler ); 
+   foo( "hello world" ); 
+ 
+error CS1593: Delegate 'Foo' does not take '1' arguments 
+ 
+If you try and call it with multiple arguments it also fails: 
+    
+   int i = 10; 
+   foo( "i = %i", i ); 
+ 
+error CS1594: Delegate 'Foo' has some invalid arguments. 
+error CS1503: Argument 1: Cannot convert from 'int' to 'object[]' 
+ 
+I was following examples of C# found on the net (one of which dates back 
+to 2002), which lead me to believe this is supposed to work. 
+ 
+ 
+Steps to reproduce the problem: 
+1. define delegate taking multiple parameters (using 'params' keyword) 
+2. attempt to call delegate using any number of parameters.. 
+3. see mcs barf
