FieldDeclaration declared with a "New" modifier

if i have a FieldDeclaration and LocalVariableDeclaration in your ast tree i can not find a way to determine if it is declared with a "New" modifier as in

Dim B As New NewItem
or
Friend WithEvents Button As New System.Windows.Forms.Button

the modifiers i get are 2048 (dim) and 33554434 ([Assembly] , WithEvents) respectively.

so maybe a bug???

thanks Leif
