[Mono-list] compile problem and indexer resizing

[Jonathan Pryor]

To answer your question, yes, this is wrong:

	myAccounts[].Add (account);

For one thing, there should be something within the indexer brackets to
be syntactically valid (by my understanding of the language), and the
return type of myAccounts[] should be of type "Account", which
(presumably) doesn't have an Add(Account) method.

So the "Add(account)" should also generate an error.

If this compiles with no problems, I would suggest filing a bug report
at http://bugzilla.ximian.com under the mcs module.
