Because char[] is a System.Array, and System.Array.ToString() prints out
the type of the array. :-)

There is no way to override Object.ToString() specifically for char[],
so this is a reasonable thing to do.  (Another reasonable thing would be
to print the contents of the array, but alas it doesn't do this.)

This is invoking Convert.ToString(Object o), which in turn returns
"o.ToString()" (in this situation).
