Issue: new() expression cannot handle complex types

[david-garcia-garcia]

Currently, the new() expression can be used to instantiate know types, such as:

query = query.select("new MyNamespace.MyClass(value1 as prop1, value2 as prop2)");

ExpressionParser.cs is not able to properly handle complex types, such as generics or classes nested inside other classes, i.e.

query = query.select("new MyNamespace.MyClass+MySubClass(value1 as prop1, value2 as prop2)");

The parser is properly extracting the full namespace and class name, it just fails to properly detect the type in it's FindType() method. I really don't understand why the implementation of such a method is so convoluted, but following the current philosophy of the method, this is the patch that will allow new() to parse nested class names:

To properly support generics though some extra work needs to be done, as it will only consider dot and plus as valid tokens in a class name:

while (_textParser.CurrentToken.Id == TokenId.Dot || _textParser.CurrentToken.Id == TokenId.Plus)

Will be proposing a PR when I find some time, just posting here for the record.

Thanks for the PR.

Can you also add a new unit-test to test this specific issue?

[StefH]

Tests fail; related to the test DTO classes, these should be normal classes, not nested in a test class.

NuGet 1.0.9 is added.
