Summary:                    Recursive references.
Description: 
Source code:

using System.Windows.Forms;
_ = 0

Command line:

ncc.exe test.n

result - error

ncc.exe -r:System.Data test.n

result - OK

Looks like the compiler parses assemblies recursively. 

1. It’s confusing.
2. It may cause deployment problems as the reference ‘Copy’ option for
particular assembly will copy only root assembly without its dependents. 
3. It’s definitely increase compiler load time.

Well, this has been discussed several times, but we still would like to
keep the current semantics, as it is VERY convenient when compiling stuff
from command line / creating simple makefile (or other) build scripts.

If you don't like recursive loading of libraries, you can use -greedy-
option:
    -greedy, -greedy-references+/-  Recursive loading references of used
assemblies
