What exactly do you mean by that? type.IsArray should be fine.

typeof(anything[]).IsArray is true, but typeof(Array).IsArray is false.

As the docs (for IsArray) state: "The Array class returns false
because it is not an array."

Not exactly clear, but my guess is it's because Array is abstract -
you can't have an instance of just Array, and various array-like
things don't make sense for it (such as element type).
