Is there a place where people can give their suggestions to adding new
featers to future releases of vb?
Ex.
DirectCast(obj, typ) makes me crazy!
C# hase the (obj as typ) statement which is shorter and what's more
VB-Style!

People often use and remember CType only because it's shorter then
DirectCast and
(obj As typ).method would be a very vb-friendly style.

And this is the moment to send them suggestions because they are working on
the specs. Once the product reaches the Beta 1 likely no new features are
added (just the opposite)

Note that C#'s 'as' corresponds to VB 2005's 'TryCast' operator. Personally
I like VB's cast and conversion operators much more than the way casts are
written in C#, because it doesn't suffer from the brackets hell.
