 I think this is csc bug because variable is really never used

 I think that in this case, since it is used to store a reference
 value it should be flagged as "used" as it sole purpose might
 be to keep a reference around.

+Don't we emit warning messages like "varibale X assigned but never
+used" for a local method? Wouldn't this just be an extension of that?
+
+OTOH, in the local variable case, the jit is free to optimize away the
+variable -- it isn't really keeping anything alive. This isn't true in
+the case of a field.
