 called method will make an indirect call through the vtable to call
 `GetEnumerator()' (or whatever) and this'll crash since it's using the

+There is no info in the metadata that tells the runtime that an array
+implements IEnumerable<T>, so the runtime structures that would allow
+calling IEnumerable<T> methods on arrays are not there.
+We likely need to fake this and special case it in the runtime, since
+I doubt there is a C# syntax to express that a non-generics class
+implements a generics interface.
+This likely applies to IList<T> and ICollection<T>, too.
