Bug? Compiles in Mono, not in Unity (function overloading, generics, inheritance)

Unity Engine

This simple code compiles in mono (and rightly so) but not in unity4 (has not tested in unity3 but assume it’s broken there too)

public class TestBase
{
	public virtual void Bar<U>(U t) where U : TestBase
	{}
}

public class Test<T> : TestBase
{
	void Foo(T t){}
	
	void Foo(object o){}
	
	public override void Bar<U>(U t)
	{
		Foo (t);
	}
}

As you can see it should compile. If type of U is not T then it should call Foo(object).
This really is quite a fundamental language principle isn’t it?
Mono runs it just fine, Unity not so much so:

It’s like unity cant see the Foo(object)-function for some reason.
This really is a showstopper in a project I’m currently working on…

That’s the background. I guess my questions are:
#1 Is this a known limitation of some sorts = wont be ‘fixed’ anytime soon, or is this a bug?
#2 If it’s a bug, will it be fixed anytime soon or will I have to redesign all my code? :confused:
#3 Either way, does anyone know a good way to deal with it / work around it without too much hassle?

Ps. Dont use the forums often, should I post it someplace else?

Nice question. Ask it on the Unity answers too.
