title: initialising multiple empty lists
body: <p>Simple syntactic c# question is this.</p>
  
  <p>Given this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;string&gt; Columns = new List&lt;string&gt;();
  List&lt;string&gt; Parameters = new List&lt;string&gt;();
  List&lt;string&gt; Values = new List&lt;string&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It can be reduced to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;string&gt; Columns = new List&lt;string&gt;(), Parameters = new List&lt;string&gt;(), Values = new List&lt;string&gt;();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But can I get it shorter still, since they're all being initialised to an empty list?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all!</p>
