+Summary: we do not report CS1008 for enum base types that are system types matching C# integral types
+
+MCS currently does report an error when compiling an enum of a type 
+corresponding with one of the c# integral types.
+
+For example, this is considered valid by MCS :
+
+public enum TestEnum : System.Int16
+{
+	One
+}
+
+But csc reports the following error :
+
+error CS1008: Type byte, sbyte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, or        
+ulong expected
+
+Apparently CSC does not automatically translate system types to C# 
+integral types, which could be considered a bug in CSC.  But to prevent 
+issues when compiling code on CSC, I think its best to change MCS 
+behaviour accordingly.
