Description

When type parameter of `Type.GetInterfaceMap` method is represented by:
1) ~~**Open generic constructed type** - method throws `ArgumentException` `"interface not found"` which is not mentioned in the docs~~
2) **Closed generic constructed type** - method returns `InterfaceMapping` with `InterfaceType` property equal to the specified `type` parameter, but not the actual version of implemented generic interface. Generic parameters in the returned type correspond to the specified `type` parameter, but not to the actual implemented interface type. So the following remark from the docs is incorrect:
>_If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, type parameters are replaced by the appropriate type arguments in the elements of the InterfaceMapping returned by this method._
