+Summary: ConstructorInfo.Invoke should return null when object is specified
+
+When ConstructorInfo.Invoke overloads that accept an object are called 
+and an object is specified, then it should return null.
+
+From the .NET Framework SDK:
+If this method overload is used to invoke an instance constructor, the 
+object supplied for obj is reinitialized; that is, all instance 
+initializers are executed. The return value is a null reference (Nothing 
+in Visual Basic). 
+
+Also, when the constructor is invoked on an abstract class then we should 
+throw a MemberAccessException. Right now, a TargetInvocationException 
+wrapping a MethodAccessException is thrown.
+
+I've committed a NotWorking unit test for this in ConstructorInfoTest.cs.
