I think the solution is even simpler.
IGrouping IS an IEnumerable and IEnumerable<T>.
Below is the signature:
#region Assembly System.Core.dll, v4.0.0.0
// C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\System.Core.dll
#endregion
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace System.Linq
{
// Summary:
// Represents a collection of objects that have a common key.
//
// Type parameters:
// TKey:
// The type of the key of the System.Linq.IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.This type
// parameter is covariant. That is, you can use either the type you specified
// or any type that is more derived. For more information about covariance and
// contravariance, see Covariance and Contravariance in Generics.
//
// TElement:
// The type of the values in the System.Linq.IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.
public interface IGrouping<out TKey, out TElement> : IEnumerable<TElement>, IEnumerable
{
// Summary:
// Gets the key of the System.Linq.IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.
//
// Returns:
// The key of the System.Linq.IGrouping<TKey,TElement>.
TKey Key { get; }
}
}
