    isExcluded="false"
    isAddInEntryPoint="false">
  <ImplementedInterface>
    <ExternalTypeReference type="System.Collections.IEnumerable" />
  </ImplementedInterface>
...
  <Method originalName="GetEnumerator" isExcluded="false">
    <ReturnType>
      <ExternalTypeReference type="System.Collections.IEnumerator" />
