Anonymous Lists in C#

This code is from a Gist I wrote when I was starting to use C#. It was one of those things that brought a "woah, dude" moment. Of course, you can actually implement this quite trivially with LINQ, but I didn't know that at the time!

class AnonList
{

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a list of type T using a prototype object. Prototype can be any object, including an anonymous type. 
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    /// <param name="prototype">The prototype object, of which a List of the same type is returned</param>
    /// <returns>A new empty List of the same type as prototype</returns>
    public static List<T> CreateAnonList<T>(T prototype)
    {
        return new List<T>();
    }

}

To use this:

var k = new { A = 23, B = "Foo" };
var list1 = AnonList.CreateAnonList(k);

// of course, with a bit of LINQ, you can just do:
// (although this also places the item in the list)
var list2 = new [] { k }.ToList();

list1.Dump();
list2.Dump();
