Non-generic Fake and Dummy creation

See original GitHub issue

I just realized that A.Fake doesn’t have a non-generic overload accepting a Type parameter, which would be very useful in some scenarios. I realize that it’s not something most people would need on a regular basis, but there doesn’t seem to be a good workaround. The only way I found was to call A.Fake<T>() via reflection, which is far from ideal.

Am I missing something?

Perhaps adding a non-generic overload to A.Fake wouldn’t be the best option, because would pollute the API with something that is not usually useful, but it would be nice to have an easy workaround.

I’m for reopening.

One oddball person coming out of nowhere and requesting the feature is one matter, but now that we have two such people, it appears that the feature would fill a desperate need. And who knows, maybe someday @ploeh will not mind taking a dependency on a modern FakeItEasy and he can have prettier code in AutoFixture.
