Does .Net support curried generics?

Suppose we have a nested generic class:

public class A {
    public class B { }
}

Here, typeof(A.B<>)<

    Apparently it can't be done in C#, you have to specify either both type parameters, or none.

    And it doesn't seem to be supported by the CLR either, A.B<> and A.B<> refer to the same type:

    Type t1 = typeof(A).GetNestedType("B`1");
    Type t2 = typeof(A).GetNestedType("B`1");
    // t1.Equals(t2) is true
    

    The enclosing type of both types is A<> (open generic type)

    EDIT: further testing shows that typeof(A.B) is actually a generic type of arity 2, not a nested generic type of arity 1... typeof(A.B).GetGenericArguments() returns an array with typeof(int) and typeof(string). So typeof(A.B<>) would actually be equivalent to (A.B), which isn't supported (a generic type can't be partially closed)
