Description
The `System.Net.Http.MultipartContent` class implements `IEnumerable`. The documentation of this class lists many extension methods that are applicable to some `IEnumerable` but not to `IEnumerable`. Those extension methods should not be listed here because they cannot be used on `MultipartContent`. For example:
- `CopyToDataTable (this IEnumerable source) where T : DataRow`, because `HttpContent` is not derived from `DataRow`
- `Average (this IEnumerable source)`, because `MultipartContent` does not implement `IEnumerable`
- `Ancestors (this IEnumerable source) where T : XNode`, because `HttpContent` is not derived from `XNode`
Listing those inapplicable extension methods makes it harder to find the methods that actually can be used.
