[rdnzl-devel] .NET error : Ambiguous match found.

I'm glad that works, but reflecting on this it seems that one pretty
much *have* to offer the return-type to PROPERTY/GetProperty when
there are ambiguities of this sort, which there will be. That's a bit
iffy syntactically, even though the implementation is easy enough. And
of course the error-message would still be pretty confusing.

 C#'s type inference mechanism tells me that in the example, if foo
has type TestPropertiesB, then bar in

     var bar = foo.MyProperty();

has type String, this being an error:

     var bar = (int) foo.MyProperty();

whereas in

     var bar = ((TestPropertiesA) foo).MyProperty();

bar is an int.

I guess one could write a custom Binder that would implement a 'most
specific property' thing, but that does kind of feel like overkill.
