It doesn't... See, a long time ago - when I was first learning .NET,
I used to always remove the reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic. I don't
remember the context, but I was in a discussion once were it was
revealed to me about the automatic inclusion by the compiler. I started
playing around with using ILDASM to generate il files, removing the
reference, and then using ILASM to regenerate the assemblies. In the
process I found several situations where the compiler inserted calls to
some Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerHelper class (or something like that,
it's been a couple of years ago, so I don't remember all of the
details). I seem to remember & and &= being one of those cases, but the
OP as proven that to be mistaken... For all I know, that could have
been during the Beta or RC days, and it has since changed during release :)
