+Summary: Referencing method member as prop/field in foreach dies
+
+Description of Problem: Accidentially referencing a member method as if it
+were a field or property inside a foreach declaration makes mcs freak.
+
+The following test case makes mcs freak out with a nasty error message on
+mono-1.1.9.1 here:
+
+<snip>
+using System;
+using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
+
+public class MainClass
+{
+        public static void Main (string[] args)
+        {
+                Regex reg = new Regex (@"\w");
+
+                foreach (Match match in reg.Matches)
+                {
+                        Console.WriteLine("Match: |{0}|", match);
+                }
+        }
+}
+</snip>
+
+Inside the foreach, "Matches" is attempted to be referenced as a
+field/property, when it really should be 'reg.Matches("some string")'. The
+same mistake outside of the foreach conditional does *not* cause this
+error. Here is the full error message:
+<snip>
+peter at stu ~/csharp/playground $ mcs foreach-fubar.cs 
+Exception caught by the compiler while compiling:
+   Block that caused the problem begin at: foreach-fubar.cs(7,21):
