   I suppose there's some logic to your proposal as one can, of course, already, declare multiple fields on the same line.

   private string s, t, u;

   However, I'm not sure it sits too well with getter-only, mixed accessibility or initialized auto-properties as it might get rather confusing if all the properties were not of exactly the same kind:

   public string FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" { get;set; }, EmailAddress { get; } = "JohnDoe@Anywhere.com";

   Wouldn't you just have those on a separate line? Like:

   public string FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" { get; set; }
   public string EmailAddress { get; } = "JohnDoe@Anywhere.com";
