 Note: csc 1.x reports the same error, but using csc 2.x it compiles 
 fine.

+I can not find a place in the spec that addresses this issue (the
+closest I found was related to nullable types).
+
+I do not want to support this without a good reason, because the code
+above is masking a real problem: that comparing "Now" to null is
+always going to be false (always, not sometimes, but always).
