Why the heck does it generate a callvirt on a non-virtual function ?..

Typically that would not allow me to do this ...

Child a=null;
a.Foo(42);

Which should not throw a NullRef exception ... as long as Foo() does not 
try to use 'ldarg.0'... (MCS stuff does throw a NullRef ?)

                // If we're going one level higher in the class hierarchy, 
abort if
                // we already found an applicable method.

seems to sum up the MCS implementation. But "applicable" ain't "best" :-)

But yeah, we should be talking about cscc bugs :-) ... and as usual
we can do a "inherit=0" lookups...

But do we want to ?.. (Rhys ?)
