+Summary: mcs complains when an indexer with different signature is declared in a derived class without "override"
+
+Description of Problem:           
+           
+If I create a indexer in a base class with one signature and another indexer in a derived           
+class, where the deriver class's indexer has a different signature, mcs complains that the          
+second indexer hides the base indexer without using "override" or "new." See program          
+below:          
+     
+using System;    
+    
+public class Base    
+{    
+	public virtual int this[ int x ]    
+	{    
+		get { return 5; }    
+		set { ; }    
+	}    
+}    
+    
+    
+public class Derived: Base    
+{    
+	public virtual int this[ int x, int y ]    
+	{    
+		get { return 6; }    
+		set { ; }    
+	}    
+}    
+    
+    
+public class Testing    
+{    
+	public static void Main()    
+	{    
+		Derived d = new Derived();    
+		    
+		Console.WriteLine(d[4]);    
+	}    
+}        
+     
+           
+           
+Steps to reproduce the problem:           
+1.   Compile the program above.      
+2.            
+3.            
+           
+Actual Results:           
+   
+mcs shows an error: " this.cs(16) warning CS0114: `Derived.Item' hides inherited  
+member `Base.this'.  To make the current member override that implementation, add  
+the override keyword, otherwise use the new keyword  
+this.cs(29) error CS0154: indexer can not be used in this context, because it lacks a  
+`get' accessor"  
+   
+           
+Expected Results:           
+  
+No errors.           
+  
+  
+How often does this happen?            
+           
+Always   
+           
+Additional Information:           
+ 
+Changing "virtual" to "override" in the Derived.this[] indexer results in successful 
+compilation, but I think that that behavior is incorrect and should actually cause an error.
