+Summary: IdenticalNameAndTypeName is too permissive
+
+Consider:
+
+class A {
+	public static int X;
+}
+
+class T {
+	static void Main () {
+		A T = new A ();
+		System.Console.WriteLine (T.X);
+	}
+}
+
+We compile this, and print `0'. The reason is that when we see `A.X' it is
+a static field. However, it is being accessed as an instance field. For
+correctness, we check to see if `T' is a type. Indeed, it is.
+
+The check we really need to do is `is T a type that holds X'
