Description
There's a lot of ceremony in VB for the simplest of programs. My first program (in QBasic) was:
```
PRINT "Hello, World!"
```
Just one statement. The concept count to the equivalent VB program is much larger:
``` VB.NET
Module Program
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
End Sub
End Module
```
And without features such as project-level imports and the project root-namespace there would be more concepts still. I hypothesize that removing a lot of this ceremony will make VB more approachable to the first time developer.
Proposals #102 and #103 are in this theme.
