By looking at bug #471255, I noticed that we are invoking ChangeType on a
custom binder even if the argument type matches that of the method.

Also, on MS invoking ChangeType on the DefaultBinder results in an
InvalidOperationException.

I think we need to move the Binder.Default.ChangeType implementation to Binder
itself, and add more tests to determine when we actually need to invoke
ChangeType on the custom binder.

I've attached a small test which shows part of the difference in behavior.

Reproducible: Always
