[IronPython] Template argument type inference

[Curt Hagenlocher]

Is it expected that the DLR and/or IronPython will eventually try to infer
template arguments when calling a generically-defined functions?

PS F:\IPCE-r7\ipy2> *.\ipy.exe*
IronPython 2.0 Alpha (2.0.0.800) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> *import clr*
>>> *clr.AddReferenceByPartialName('xunit')
*>>> *from Xunit import Assert
*>>> *Assert.Equal(1, 1)
*Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line unknown, in ##137
TypeError: Equal() takes at least 2147483647 arguments (2 given)
>>> *Assert.Equal[type(1)](1, 1)
*>>>

Should I file a CodePlex issue for that rather unintuitive error message?
