[IronPython] TypeError: expected Size, got Size

[Dino Viehland]

I was just talking to Michael Foord at EuroPython about this.  My proposal would be:
	1. If the type's fully qualified names are the same then we should report an error that warns you about loader contexts
	2. if the types names are the same but the fully qualified names are different we should include the fully qualified names
	3. Otherwise we should include just the simple type name.

Sound reasonable?
