Is there any method / extension method on IEnumerable that allows me to find the index of of an object instance in it? Like IndexOf() in IList?
indexPosition = m
Note that there couldn't be any instance method because IEnumerable is covariant.
Anything of type IEnumerable has to implement IndexOf(string x), and, due to covariance, can be casted to IEnumerable.
So it now exposes as IndexOf(object x) what is really IndexOf(string x), and since not all objects are strings, couldn't work for all objects.
IList can do it because it's invariant, i.e. you can't cast an IList to an IList.
