I don't think the fix in SVN is correct (it appears to cause bug 378189).

The error message I get is:

pr370577.cs(18,24): error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following
methods or properties: `Program.Foo(System.Action<string>)' and
`Program.Foo<string>(System.Func<string,string>)'
pr370577.cs(6,21): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)
pr370577.cs(11,18): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)

Since Bar returns whatever 'Foo' returns, the compiler can't possibly choose
'void Foo(Action<string>)' as the correct function. The fix checked in for this
seems to only check if the context returns void, that the invocation return
void too.
