Chuck wrote:Fixed, tested and checked in.

The real bug was that Cobra would not access nested types due to the false error you received. The .NET standard library doesn't have many nested types that you directly use (they recommend against such a style and mostly follow that recommendation in their own libraries), so this problem hadn't been found before.
