OK, so they need to stay in for now. It looks like we could get most of them by not binding if [ParamDictionary] or [ParamArray] is present. There are a few other cases where a special one would be needed. Opened http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33180 to track. Not planning on fixing it before 3.0, though.
