Description of Problem: Accidentially referencing a member method as if it
were a field or property inside a foreach declaration makes mcs freak.

The following test case makes mcs freak out with a nasty error message on
mono-1.1.9.1 here:

<snip>
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

public class MainClass
{
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
                Regex reg = new Regex (@"\w");

                foreach (Match match in reg.Matches)
                {
                        Console.WriteLine("Match: |{0}|", match);
                }
        }
}
</snip>

Inside the foreach, "Matches" is attempted to be referenced as a
field/property, when it really should be 'reg.Matches("some string")'. The
same mistake outside of the foreach conditional does *not* cause this
error. Here is the full error message:

Let me know if any further information is required.
