+If I understand this correctly, MyStruct[] -> IList<IList<int>> is not
+allowed by ECMA.
+
+The reason is that in 13.1.4, the spec requires an implicit reference
+conversion from S to T (ie. from MyStruct to IList<int>).  According
+to 13.1.4, however, there is no such conversion.
+
+Note that there is an implicit boxing conversion from MyStruct to
+IList<int>, but if I understand this correctly this doesn't qualify there.
+
+Note also that when making MyStruct a class type instead of a struct,
+the test case compiles with csc.
