[IronPython] custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython

[Jason Ferrara]

I have another related question.  The "Item" property of  
System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement (base class for  
ConfigurationSection) doesn't seem to be accessible from IronPython.   
Is this because its overloaded by parameter type? Is there a way to  
access it from IronPython?

Thanks

- Jason
