Shorthand notation for class member initialization
<p>In a C# block, I can define and initialize a variable as follows:</p>

<pre><code>var xyz = new Xyz();
</code></pre>

<p>The type of <code>xyz</code> will be set accordingly.</p>

<p>However, at the class level, I have to specify the type twice:</p>

<pre><code>class Abc
{
    Xyz xyz = new Xyz();
}
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a shorthand syntax that avoids typing out the type name twice?</p>

<p>This isn't such a big deal with short types like <code>Xyz</code> but a shorter notation would help with LongTypeNames.</p>
