	Yes, this is a known bug in mcs which I am going to try and fix ASAP.

	Hmm, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Again, a bug in mcs
which currently doesn't allow you to have expressions such as the ones
above, to initialize enum members.

	Oh yes, and we appreciate such input very much :-)

	Well, this last one seems tricky. Were you trying to do this in Linux
or Windows. Perhaps one way to isolate the error is trying the same
thing in windows - that way we know if it's a bug in mcs or mono.
