[Mono-list] CS0278 "ambiguous implementation of `enumerable' pattern"

[Chris Seaton]

Is that the long term solution?! I'm using a basic statement on a  
class provided by a library and I'm getting warnings. Can't it  
default to using one of the implementations? What does Microsoft's  
compiler do?

Apart from anything else it makes it very hard to see actual errors  
and warnings in the compiler output.
