[Mono-vb] Few more test cases

[Anony Mous]

Hi Anirban,

If mbas supports conditional compilation, we can use it to implement 
your idea as follows:

     #If STRICT Then
       Option Strict On
     #Else
       Option Strict Off
     #End If

     Module CharacterLiterals1
         Sub Main()
             Dim c As Char

     #If STRICT Then
       	    c = "x"c	
     #Else
        	    c = "x"
     #End If
     	
             Dim a As String = "X"c
             If a <> c Then
                 Throw New System.Exception("a is not same as c")
             End If
         End Sub
     End Module

and then use some kind of batch file to run the compilation with
the STRICT conditional compilation constant defined in one run and 
undefined in another run.

Sound good?

Cheers,
Eric.
