if the "of" was not optional, then i'd be all for it. seriously. i
think it was AsML from MSR that had very "english" syntax and it was a
small change that at first seemed stupid, but quickly felt very
comfortable  much better than reading equivalent C#. as small a
cognitive load as it might be, it is some, and removing it was
actually noticeable. crazy.

sincerely.
