Re: [DotGNU]System.IO.StreamReader lists field Null twice

ms .net says there is only one Null field...

i got aware of that when the compiler said that there was a multiple 
definition of 'Null'.. when the compiler imports a class it adds all 
fields by name to some internal structure.. so it had 'Null' already 
defined and wanted to added it again.. somehow it doesnt look at the 
type.. but anyway: when the compiler remembers both fields with 
different types it will allow the user to use either TextReader or 
StreamReader in their program... resulting in a runtime-error if the 
wrong type has been used..
