Yes, I saw that during one of their D2010 launch-sessions. Any idea why
they do this? Is it just a .Net-me-too?

Yes I think so. Pretty much with everything, same with the new RTTI modifier
stuff in front of a declaration, instead after it. When I asked a question
about that, they were even surprised I doubted it at all. (worse, it was Bob
Swart!)

However due to the reaction of the audience (I went to a D2010 introduction
by Barnsten yesterday), specially from the younger crowd, the public opinion
seems to be this is absolutely great functionality.

I still haven't seen any practical use for the new RTTI modifier stuff. I made some comments on some websites, but everybody keeps nagging about the persistent storage uses. Which is a basically flawed use of the feature.
No-one has provided an alternative use yet :(
