 mouse.cs(9) error CS0122: `Qt.QtSupport+MousePressEvent' is inaccessible 
 because of its protection level 
  
 (Originally, mcs complained that name could not be found.)

+I've narrowed down the problem. mcs marks delegates as having accessibility 
+"public" even if they are protected, whereas csc marks them as "family" in that 
+case. Referring to the above test case, mcs has 
+ 
+.class auto ansi sealed nested public MousePressEvent 
+ 
+whereas csc has 
+ 
+.class auto ansi sealed nested family MousePressEvent 
+ 
+mcs seems to rely on the delegates' being marked as public. I compiled 
+event.cs to event.dll using csc, disassembled event.dll, and changes "family" to 
+"public" for the MousePressEvent class definition, and when I reassembled it, 
+mcs compiled mouse.cs against event.dll without complaint. 
+ 
+I do not know why mcs marks protected delegates as "public". This might be a 
+bug in mcs.
