/* The pseudo algorithm for type initialization from the spec
Note it doesn't say anything about domains - only threads.

2. If the type is initialized you are done.
2.1. If the type is not yet initialized, try to take an 
     initialization lock.  
2.2. If successful, record this thread as responsible for 
     initializing the type and proceed to step 2.3.
2.2.1. If not, see whether this thread or any thread 
     waiting for this thread to complete already holds the lock.
2.2.2. If so, return since blocking would create a deadlock.  This thread 
     will now see an incompletely initialized state for the type, 
     but no deadlock will arise.
2.2.3  If not, block until the type is initialized then return.
2.3 Initialize the parent type and then all interfaces implemented 
    by this type.
2.4 Execute the type initialization code for this type.
2.5 Mark the type as initialized, release the initialization lock, 
    awaken any threads waiting for this type to be initialized, 
    and return.

 *
 * The params array contains the arguments to the method with the
 * same convention: MonoObject* pointers for object instances and
 * pointers to the value type otherwise. The _invoke_array
 * variant takes a C# object[] as the params argument (MonoArray
 * *params): in this case the value types are boxed inside the
 * respective reference representation.
 * 
 * From unmanaged code you'll usually use the
 * mono_runtime_invoke() variant.
 *
 * Note that this function doesn't handle virtual methods for
 * you, it will exec the exact method you pass: we still need to
 * expose a function to lookup the derived class implementation
 * of a virtual method (there are examples of this in the code,
 * though).
 * 
 * You can pass NULL as the exc argument if you don't want to
 * catch exceptions, otherwise, *exc will be set to the exception
 * thrown, if any.  if an exception is thrown, you can't use the
