GetComponent doesn't work with covariance

I have a hierarchy:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public interface IA {
3. }
4. public interface IA<out T> : IA {
5. }
6. public class A : MonoBehaviour, IA<string> {
7. }
8.  

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. A obj = null;
3. IA<object> baseObj = obj; // ok
4.  
5. typeof( IA ).IsAssignableFrom( typeof( A ) ); // true
6. typeof( IA<object> ).IsAssignableFrom( typeof( A ) ); // true (only for .NET 4.6)
7.  
8. GetComponent( typeof( IA ) ); // ok
9. GetComponent( typeof( IA<object>) ); // null
10. GetComponent( typeof( A ) ); // ok
11.  

As you can see Unity can't find component by IA<object>.
What do you use for comparing types?


Also I want to draw your attention that GameObject.FindObjectOfType still is not working with interfeces.
Could you remove checking for UnityEndine.Object?
