           Summary: Type.GetInterface(string) fails to search by generic
                    type definition
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: SVN
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: CORLIB

The following code tries to get instantiated generic IDictionary interface just
by
giving generic type definition name. It returns IDictionary<string,string> on
NET. Mono does not.

public class Test
{
  public static void Main ()
  {
    System.Console.WriteLine (typeof
(System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,string>)
      .GetInterface ("System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2"));
  }
}

I'm not sure which is correct behavior though - to return or not to return the
type.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
explained above.
Actual Results:  
nothing printed.

Expected Results:  
print System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2[System.String,System.String]
