Array covariance

Reported by: Chuck Owned by: Chuck
Priority: medium Milestone:
Component: Cobra Compiler Version: 0.8.0
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Apparently C# treats arrays in a special manner (I believe this treatment differs from generics such as List<of T>) as described in a  discussion post.

Cobra should support this treatment.

patch+tests+relnote for array covariance as stated.

I suspect cobra should also support this from lists assigned to streams ( it does not currently - see commented test) but in
a relatively cursory search I couldnt determine what should be modified to do so.

"I'm really getting the hang of testing Cobra-style.
 I feel more productive (and willing to write tests)."
