I didn't say I like it ;-) But obviously, there's some compiler magic
involved
with arrays and delegates. For instance, the CLR doesn't expose arrays
as specialiazations of ::cli::array<> as in C++/CLI. But there isn't
something
obviously different for String. IIRC it has a special short form at encoding
level and there are probably some subtleties involving string literal
conversions.
If you ask why a user should care about it, I don't know. In fact, I think
I filed a bug for the delegate case, which was closed as by design.
Yes, there it is:
