I wanted to use the "this" keyword for clarity.  (I find it helps
beginners alot.  A beginner will not know what a "DeleteEvent" is.
But with the "this" keyword there, they can immediately tell that
it is a property of the class they are using.)

I got used to it in C++.  If you have something like:

    My_Constructor(int x, int y, int z)
        : base()
        , a(x)
        , b(y)
        , c(z)

Then you can get rid of one of the initializations with:
         

    My_Constructor(int x, int y, int z)
        : base()
        , a(x)
        , b(y)
    //    , c(z)

And then "c" won't be assigned.  But if I had the commas
at the end then I would have:

    My_Constructor(int x, int y, int z)
        : base(),
          a(x),
          b(y),
    //      c(z)

And that would case a (compile time) error.


See ya
