+Summary: improper CS0408 - cannot define overload members one of them has a generic parameter
+
+mcs raises an error CS0408 when there is a set of overloaded methods one of
+that takes such arguments of a generic parameter type in the generic
+class. However, it does not seem correct (see the last part of the
+description below).
+
+class Foo<T>
+{
+ public string this [int index] {
+ get { return null; }
+ }
+
+ public string this [T key] {
+ get { return null; }
+ }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+possible-substitutes.cs(7,16): error CS0408: `Foo<T>' cannot define
+overload members that may unify for some type parameter substitutions
+
+Expected Results:
+
+no CS0408 error.
+
+How often does this happen?
+
+consistently.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Here is an excerpt from ECMA 334.
+
+25.1.7 Overloading in generic classes
+Methods, constructors, indexers, and operators within a generic class
+declaration can be overloaded. While
+signatures as declared must be unique, it is possible that substitution of
+type arguments results in identical
+signatures. The tie-breaking rules of overload resolution will pick the
+most specific one.
+
+csc compiles it as I expected from above.
