+Summary: implicite conversion to boolean from generic using == does not work
+
+I have been assured the following code compiles correctly on MS.Net.
+However, I don't have a box at the time to verify it. It doesn't compile
+on Mono 1.2.3... and it appears it should.
+
+
+
+using System;
+
+namespace MonoBug {
+        class MainClass {
+                public static void Main(string[] args) {
+                        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
+
+                        GenericType<bool> g = new GenericType<bool>(true);
+                        if (g)
+                                Console.WriteLine("true");
+                        if (g == true)
+                                Console.WriteLine("true");
+                }
+        }
+
+        public class GenericType<T> {
+
+                private T value;
+
+                public GenericType(T value) {
+                        this.value = value;
+                }
+
+                public static implicit operator T(GenericType<T> o) {
+                        return o.value;
+                }
+        }
+}
