At the time the assignment expression `a = "hello"' is parsed,
it is not know whether a is a class field from this class, or

until the semantic analysis phase.

The error codes in the Mono C# compiler are the same as those
found in the Microsoft C# compiler, with a few exceptions
(where we report a few more errors, those are documented in

the users, and also to help us track the progress of the
compiler in terms of the errors we report.
