           Summary: Custom attributes messed up with generic arguments
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: SVN
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Cecil

I have found the following code to break when loading and then saving an
assembly with Cecil.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Given the following code:

public class TestFixtureAttribte : Attribute
{
    public TestFixtureAttribute(params object[] args) { ... }
}

2. Decorate a class with the above attribute by providing a generic type, like
so:

[TestFixture(typeof(List<int>))]
public class SomeFixture
{}

3. Load and the save the assembly containing the code above with Cecil.
Actual Results:  
The generated IL for the attribute is wrong:

custom instance void
[nunit.framework]NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute::.ctor(object[]) = { new
object[int32(1)] { string('System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32,
mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]],
mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089') }
}


Expected Results:  
This is the correct IL:

custom instance void
[nunit.framework]NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute::.ctor(object[]) = { new
object[int32(1)] { type([mscorlib]System.Collections.Generic.List`1<int32>) } }
