 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.

+Adding the generic interfaces is not enough, of course, since we also
+need the implementation of the methods in the interfaces.
+I'm installing beta2 and checking if Array is really a generic type
+there, or if we can put a generic class between Array and the actual
+array class, otherwise it's going to be a mess, since we'd have to
+generate the generic methods at runtime, too.
