When using a static method on a generic class which is within another class I
get two compiler errors: CS1502 and CS1503.

Bug was identified when trying to compile Lucene.Net from trunk:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/lucene.net/trunk/C%23/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
===== Code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace StaticGeneric
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Outer.Inner<string>.WriteOut(args);
        }
    }

    public class Outer 
    {    
        public class Inner<T>
        {
            public static void WriteOut (IEnumerable<T> myObject)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}", myObject);
            }
        }
    }
}
Actual Results:  
Main.cs(45,45): Error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for
`StaticGeneric.Outer.Inner<T>.WriteOut(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>)'
has some invalid arguments (CS1502)
Main.cs(45,45): Error CS1503: Argument `#1' cannot convert `string[]'
expression to type `System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>' (CS1503)


Expected Results:  
Compiles successfully

The following code does compile successfully:

===== Code

===== Code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace StaticGeneric
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
        Inner<string>.WriteOut(args);
        }
    }

        public class Inner<T>
        {
            public static void WriteOut (IEnumerable<T> myObject)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}", myObject);
            }
        }
}
