…posed corelib types. Use reflection for the hosting tests as they'll be around indefinitely. Use the ref-assembly trick for ICastable testing since ICastable testing would require Ref-emit which makes the test significantly less readable and since ICastable will be going away within the .NET 7 timeframe.

This is works too.
My opinion here is that this sort of code is much harder to work with and is far more annoying to use than simply having a pseudo ref assembly. The shim/proxy type approach works but it does make things much harder to debug in managed code.
Thanks for removing the SPCL ref logic, that is a win either way.

Looks like things break really badly if CoreLib has any types marked with |
…me of that complexity to handle IClassFactory (since type equivalence in corelib breaks things really badly)
