   C# inherited this syntax from Microsoft IDL and its predecessor ODL.
Unsure of the age of MS IDL but a 1995 edition of "Inside OLE" uses it. I
can't recall any problems with the syntax although fewer people would have
worked with it when it was only for defining interfaces rather than as part
of a general purpose language.
