+Summary: [PATCH] TypeData fixes for Array/List types
+
+I've attached a patch the fixes the following issues in TypeData (which 
+affects XmlReflectionImporter / SoapReflectionImporter):
+
+- If a type implements IDictionary, a NotSupportedException must be 
+thrown.
+
+- If a type implements ICollection, then an Add method must exist which 
+takes a single argument of a type to which the listitem type is 
+assignable (meaning a base type or an interface that it implements). If 
+such a method does not exist, then throw an InvalidOperationException.
+
+- If a type implements IEnumerable, then the listitem type is determined 
+by the type of the Current property of the (IEnumerator) type returned by 
+the GetEnumerator() method or the private implementation of 
+IEnumerable.GetEnumerator(). If there's no public Current property on the 
+IEnumerator, then System.Object it assumed as listitem type. Similar as 
+for types implementing ICollection, an Add method must exist which takes 
+a single argument of a type to which the listitem type is assignable 
+(meaning a base type or an interface that it implements). If such a 
+method does not exist, then throw an InvalidOperationException.
