Purpose of generic argument in IMetadataReader.GetAttributes<T>

[nsarris]

Is there any puprpose in the generic attributte in IMetadataReader.GetAttributes after the attriutes refactoring? Unless I missed something the framework internally only calls IMetadataReader.GetAttributes and I don't see IMetadataReader as part of the public API. Even so it's a minor breaking change, the consumer can simply filter the results with. This would simplify the implementation of provider implementations and remove a lot of type checking.

That's actually makes sense... We plan to release final version this week, so we should do it now or leave it as it is ..

I vote for now if you could sqeeze it in.
