Description of Problem:
Checking the scope of a local variable hiding a class member variable
is not correctly implemented.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
using System;

class A {

        static int i = 42;

        public static void Main ()
        {
                Console.WriteLine ( i );
                int i = 37;
        }
}

Actual Results:
When compiled using "mcs", this program prints "42". This is what 
a C++ programmer might expect, but it is wrong. 

Expected Results:
The C# language reference specifies that the reference to "i" in the call
to Console.WriteLine is to the local variable i declared in "Main". At the
same time, it specifies that this reference is illegal, because it precedes
its definition ("int i = 37"). In short: the expected result is a
compilation error ("csc" reports error CS0136 on the example above).

How often does this happen? 
Always
