Xamarin.Android is in the right; it's Xamarin.iOS which is wrong here; I've
filed this as:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15089
The reason why Xamarin.Android is right is because we should preserve API
compatibility with .NET, and .NET has the Android API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.linq.expressions.expressionvisitor.visitmethodcall.aspx
protected internal virtual Expression VisitMethodCall(
MethodCallExpression node
)
The reason why Xamarin.Android has the right signature is because we use
Microsoft's Apache-2.0-licensed DLR source, which provides ExpressionVisitor:
