15.2.4.2 Base classes (directly depends on)

15.2.4.2 says

> It is a compile-time error for a class to depend on itself. For the purpose of this rule, a class directly depends on its direct base class (if any) and directly depends on the nearest enclosing class within which it is nested (if any). Given this definition, the complete set of classes upon which a class depends is the transitive closure of the directly depends on relationship.

However, it isn't clear how this affects generics. Does `A` below *depend* on itself?

``` c#
class G { }
class A : A> { }
```

A similar question applies to interfaces in 18.2.4 Base interfaces

``` c#
interface G { }
interface A : A> { }
```

Does the interface `A` "directly or indirectly inherit from itself"?

Whatever the meaning of the existing text, these programs should be forbidden.
