Thanks for the info. While the KISS principle may apply here (on that we
agree), I'm at odds with your other points. It's certainly easier to parse
code without worrying about trapping this type of scenario and even
beneficial if it imrpoves compiler performance and robustness, but it's
still legal IMO (or should be). I doubt the C# standard says otherwise (I'd
be surprised to find out).

The C# standards are very clear on definite assignment, and they don't
contain any rules about the compiler performing any logic to determine
that one of two paths through code must be taken.
