           Summary: Type conversion failure when using namespace alias and
                    generic type for variable declaration
           Product: Mono: Compilers
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: C#
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com

Description of Problem:

Compiler has trouble with namespace aliases when generic types are involved.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try to compile the following code:

using scg = global::System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
public class Test
{
    scg::IList<string> x = new ReadOnlyCollection<string>(null);

    static void Main(){} // Just to make compilation easy
}

Actual Results:
Test.cs(6,28): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type
`System.Collections.
ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<string>' to
`System.Collections.Generic.IList<T>'
 An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected Results:
Successful compilation.

How often does this happen? 
Every time.
