I'd fixed that in the trunk version of the Kimono code generation, but
not in the KDE/3.5 branch version. I've fixed that now.

That's correct, classes like this should be marshalled to ArrayLists
and not appear in the C# api.

The ways in which you can use operator overloading are more restricted
in C# than C++, so the code generation does its best to map them onto
C#, but it doesn't always work. I don't think you can have static
overloaded methods in C# for instance, and so it would be best to
suppress the generation of them.
