Example for explicit interface member implemenation

Type of issue

Other (describe below)

Description

From: Explicit interface member implementations

interface IList<T>
{
    T[] GetElements();
}

interface IDictionary<K, V>
{
    V this[K key] { get; }
    void Add(K key, V value);
}

class List<T> : IList<T>, IDictionary<int, T>
{
    T[] IList<T>. GetElements() {...}
    T IDictionary<int, T>.this[int index] {...}
    void IDictionary<int, T>.Add(int index, T value) {...}
}

Here IDictionary<int,T>.this and IDictionary<int,T>.Add are explicit interface member implementations.

---

Question: Is IList<T>. GetElements() in T[] IList<T>. GetElements() {...} not an explicit interface member implementation?

Certainly looks that way to me. We'll discuss this in our next meeting in case I've missed something.

Proposed fix: change GetElements to be implicit:

public T[] GetElements() {...}

Agreed in the meeting - I'll create a PR tomorrow.
