[DotGNU]TextWriter, 'standard' overriding (a little OT)

[S11001001]

1. What's with the recursive calls in System.IO.TextWriter?

The Hierarchy of Write(?):

Formatted section, (char), (bool), (double), (Decimal), (float), (int), (uint), 
(ulong), (Object) depend on Write(string)

(char[]) depends on (char[], int, int)

(char[], int, int) depends on (char)

(String) depends on (char[])

So you can see, any Write call will eventually result in a recursive set, 
(char)->(String)->(char[])->(char[], int, int)->repeat.

Now, I believe this is a perfect example of the poor object design in the 
proposed BCL standard. I believe it can be broken (or fixed, either works) by 
redefining String, char[], or (char[], int, int) as abstract. Now that I have 
answered my own question, Thus follows,

2. Can you override methods AllTypes.xml doesn't say to? Can you NOT override 
methods AllTypes.xml tells you to?
