How can I define multiple types with the same name and different type parameters using Reflection Em

How can I generate types like these using the System.Reflection.Emit libraries:

public class Test<T> {}
public class Test<T1, T2> {}

When I call ModuleBuilder.DefineType(string) with the second type declaration, I get an exception because there is already another type in the module with the same name (I've already defined the type parameter on the first type). Any ideas?

I'm hashing a file with one or more hash algorithms. When I tried to parametrize which hash types I want, it got a lot messier than I was hoping. I think I'm missing a chance to make better use of generics or LINQ. I also don't like that I have to use a Type[] as the parameter instead of limiting… >>> More
