+Summary: Type.InvokeMember with BindingFlags.CreateInstance doesn't work on `structure'
+
+Description of Problem:
+When using Type.InvokeMember to create a new instance of structure
+(value-type), it cannot create a instance but throws exception.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile and run this code. (file: a.cs)
+
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+namespace A{
+
+    struct B
+    {
+        int value;
+    }
+
+    public class A
+    {
+        public static void Main()
+        {
+            object o = typeof(B).InvokeMember("",
+BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, null, null);
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+$ ./a.exe
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Cannot find the
+requested method.
+in <0x00350> System.MonoType:InvokeMember
+(string,System.Reflection.BindingFlags,System.Reflection.Binder,object,object[],System.Reflection.ParameterModifier[],System.Globalization.CultureInfo,string[])
+in <0x0002a> System.Type:InvokeMember
+(string,System.Reflection.BindingFlags,System.Reflection.Binder,object,object[])
+in <0x00033> A.A:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Run succesfully, with no message.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+This code works on MS .NET implementation.
+
+On implementation in MonoType.cs, it tries finding constructor (by
+GetConstructor) but it fails because there's not. I think there should be
+some additional code for handle value types(return Boxed object or something?).
