 disambiguation rule to parse the code other than how mcs does.  The
 compiler has to _know_ that it's a cast as soon as it sees (int), and
 it doesn't need any further lookahead.  Casts bind tighter than
 assignment.
 
 So, I'm changing this to NOTABUG.

+hari,
+
+  I have changed the code that exposed this (in fact the "erroneous" cast was there because 
+of a old mcs bug that required it a long time ago) but I personally disagree with NOTABUG.  
+I know we dont bug track microsoft in every instance; but in the COMPILER?  We should be 
+compiling the same code they do (in my opinion).
+
+  Its a process desicion rather than a technical one; I just want to wave the flag that if they 
+compile it; I think we probably should as well.
+
+  Admittedly this is a edge case.
