The fact that C# is compiled, on first pass, to CIL has literally
nothing to do with its reflection capabilities.  Information about
types and symbols is completely separate from code, and even a
language like D could have RTTI as expressive and flexible as C#.
Additionally, CIL is - according to its namesake, "Common Intermediate
Language" - not really meant to be executed directly, and is most of
the time just-in-time compiled to native machine code before
execution.

That seems.. odd.  Maybe it's a bug?  I wasn't aware that you should
be able to overload operators on basic types.
