+Summary: [GMCS] consider base interfaces for CS0309
+
+gmcs does not seem to consider base interfaces of the constrained type
+parameters on CS0309 computation. In the code below, K is IBar, thus it
+should be regarded as to implement IFoo. So no CS0309 error should happen.
+
+(I'm not 100% sure if this understanding is right; it might be regarded as
+a covariant.)
+
+interface IFoo {}
+interface IBar : IFoo {}
+
+class Mona<T> where T : IFoo {}
+
+class Test
+{
+        public Mona<K> GetMona<K> () where K : IBar
+        {
+                return new Mona<K> ();
+        }
+
+        public static void Main () {}
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+constraint-baseifaces.cs(8,9): error CS0309: The type `K' must be
+convertible to `IFoo' in order to use it as parameter `T' in the generic
+type or method `Mona`1<T>'
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+no error.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+consistently.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+To my understanding, both of this generic type and this generic method are
+(should be) marked as NonVariant.
