 operator from a pair of As to bool can be lifted to an operator from a
 pair of "A?"s to bool. The left hand argument is implicitly converted
 from A to A? and the right hand "null" is convertible to A? be
 default. The specific operation in your code will always return
 "false" though.

+I think the explanation from Microsoft is incomplete, because in the
+particular case of:
+
+class Foo<T> where T: struct {
+
+     bool IsNull (T x) { return x == null; }
+}
+
+
+Is not permitted.   If you remove "struct" then the above code
+compiles with CSC.
