Summary:                    probably more array tweaks required
Description: 
Thank you for a quick fix! I just looked at the diff in the svn repository
and I hate to be pedantic, but unfortunately it will probably not fix the
problem completely(though it will fix test case I submitted).

Here's a complete list of interfaces which Array implements:
IClonable, IList,ICollection, IEnumerable
Generic.IList, Generic.ICollection, Generic.IEnumerable

Btw, your fix is really very simple and readable(though a bit hackish), I
couldn't imagine this is so simple. :) Probably I could even have tried to
fix the problem myself. When I'll spot such a trivial problem next time,
I'll definitely try to save your time and submit some patch outright(via
mantis of course ;) ).

Exactly:

def x = array [1];
_ = x : System.Collections.IList;

Malekith, maybe we should just take InternaType.SystemArray and check if
given tc is within its supertypes?

This won't work for generic interfaces...

"In the .NET Framework version 2.0, the Array class implements the
System.Collections.Generic.IList, System.Collections.Generic.ICollection,
and System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable generic interfaces. The
implementations are provided to arrays at run time, and therefore are not
visible to the documentation build tools."

So we should use System.Array and add those three special cases :)
