C# - ExpandoObject definition

Looking at the definition of System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject i came across this:

public sealed class ExpandoObject : IDynamicMetaObjectProvider, IDictionary<string, object>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, object>>, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, object>>, IEnumerable, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public ExpandoObject();
}

Why does the ExpandoObject class not implement the interfaces?

Using something like .Net Reflector you can see the implementation of each interface. The code is too long to post here but it is all in there. Simply do a search within reflector for the ExandoObject and you will see the members.

The ExpandoObject has an explicit implementation of the interfaces. Explicit implentation allows it to only be accessible when cast as the interface itself.
