+Summary: Wrong error message given by mcs
+
+The attached example taken from  
+"Programming C#" doesn't compile as expected. However, the errormessage  
+given by mcs (version 0.11) is not correct as it doesn't indicate the  
+real problem of the code. The error I got was 
+ 
+./ex2-4.cs(5) error CS0103: The name `WriteLine' could not be found in  
+`Hello' 
+ 
+What I expected was something saying that using is only allowed with  
+namespaces and that Console is a class. 
+ 
+The code is as follows. 
+ 
+using System.Console; 
+class Hello { 
+    static void Main() { 
+        // Console from the System namespace 
+        WriteLine("Hello World"); 
+    } 
+}
