           Summary: Null values for nullable structs are reported as not
                    equal to each other
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.2.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: CORLIB

Null values for nullable structs are reported as being not equal.

For example, take this expression (you can run it in the C# repl):

default(DateTime?) == default(DateTime?)

You would expect this expression to evaluate to true, and it does in the
Microsoft implementation of .NET, but it does not for Mono.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the C# repl
2. Type "default(DateTime?) == default(DateTime?)
Actual Results:  
The repl reports "false"

Expected Results:  
The repl should report "true"

Similar expressions, such as

default(int?) == default(int?)

and

(object)default(DateTime?) == (object)default(DateTime?)

work as expected. This seems to only affect uncasted null values for nullable
structs.
