+Summary: CS0233 should be reported for sizeof without unsafe context
+
+Currently mcs does not require unsafe context for "sizeof" operator.
+
+public class Test
+{
+        public void Foo ()
+        {
+                int x = sizeof (int);
+        }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+$ mcs sizeof.cs /unsafe
+sizeof.cs(5) warning CS0219: The variable 'x' is assigned but its value is
+never used
+error CS5001: Program sizeof.exe does not have an entry point defined
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+$ csc sizeof.cs /unsafe /nologo
+sizeof.cs(5,11): error CS0233: sizeof can only be used in an unsafe context
+(consider using System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+consistently
+
+Additional Information:
+I haven't checked the C# specification in details so drop it if the spec
+does not require unsafe context.

+csc 2.0 does same. It doesn't require unsafe for simple types.

+Having differences like this one between mcs and csc 1.0 allows for 
+the build to be broken on Windows (when building using csc).
+
+The behaviour of gmcs and csc 2.0 should match, but IMO mcs should 
+match csc 1.0.
