Hi, Jeff, I thought I had attached the source code to my original email, maybe it has been eaten by the list.
I copied the C# source up to http://www.paste.org/76738 for further reference. I know that this is a corner case, but it just happened to one of my coworkers who consulted me for a solution / workaround. :-) (Note that this test case is simplified. In the real case, the method in question is defined on an interface, and both overloads have an identical set of input parameters before the optional out parameter. It is an API clearly designed with C# in mind, and our QA tries to call it from python in our automated regression test suite.)
