method-signature

Some predefined methods contain a ParamArray in their signature. Delegates, however, cannot contain a ParamArray in their signature.

Main question: Assume you wish to create a delegation mechanism for a specific method which requires a ParamArray. How would you work around this constraint?

"Bonus" question: Assume you wish to create a generalized delegation mechanism for all methods which require ParamArray, how would you do that?
