Yikes, VB allows that?  It's of course equivalent to the direct assignment:
   Dim s As String = "test"


There's (obviously) no constructor on String that takes a String, so what is VB
doing here?  I can't see anything in the VBLS80 spec that covers this on my
quick re-reading.

Wierd!  What MSFT vbc generates is funky.  A conversion first to an array of
char...
[[
    IL_0000:  ldstr      "test"
    IL_0005:  call       char[]
[Microsoft.VisualBasic]Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions::ToCharArrayRankOne(string)
    IL_000a:  newobj     instance void [mscorlib]System.String::.ctor(char[])
    IL_000f:  stloc.0
    IL_0010:  ret
]]
