That doesn't necessarily mean that the overload does exist.  Reference
equality on Type objects usually works fine.

I'm not saying that the overload doesn't exist, all I'm saying is that
your test doesn't actually prove either case.  Try instead compiling
that example and running monodis on it.  The IL will show you if a
method call is being made or if it's just a ceq (reference
comparison).
