Description
For example, as an alternative to:
`Dim a As Integer`
also recognise:
`a As Integer`
Possibly the compiler/parser could use the `As` keyword to recognise that a variable is being declared? This would help to make VB.NET more concise.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the compiler/parser handling of Dim and As declarations, then define how `a As Integer` should be recognised and what declaration cases and ambiguities must be covered before the proposal is complete.
