 Sorry, didn't see your comment until now. I'll look at the other
 callsites.

+Hmm, I've only found one single test case which reaches one of the
+other callsites :
+
+===========
+using System.Collections;
+
+public class Test  {
+     ArrayList ArrayList;
+
+     public static void Main () {
+          ArrayList.Capacity = 5;
+     }
+}
+============
+
+Output from mcs:
+----------------
+error CS0120: `ArrayList': An object reference is required for the
+nonstatic field, method or property
+
+Output from csc:
+----------------
+error CS0120: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field,
+method, or property 'System.Collections.ArrayList.Capacity'
+
+
+I would except the compiler to either tell me that
+"System.Collections.ArrayList.Capacity" (as csc does) or that
+"Test.ArrayList" is the field needing an object reference.
+
+
+So my questions now are:
+- What do we want mcs to report for the test case above?
+- How do I reach the other callsites?
+- When and why do we want to report the short name?
