'var' keyword type inference in conjunction with 'foreach'

Hello,

There's a language parsing feature that would make a great improvement for us, and I'm wondering if it's likely to be included in any future release. It seems like you've solved some related and more difficult problems in recent releases, so maybe you're planning to implement the feature I'd like!

If I type the following, I get full intellisense:

string[] strings;

foreach(string s in strings) {
   s.    // <- full intellisense here
}
However, if I type the following, I only get intellisense for "object" (ie, ToString(), GetHashCode(), etc)

string[] strings;

foreach(var s in strings) {
   s.    // <- I wish I could get full intellisense for type "string" here!!
}
In our application, the type that we are enumerating is not "string", but a more complex type (with a complex type name), and it would be great if we didn't require the user to have to specify our complex type name.

I'm currently using build 4.0.280.0.

Best regards
Brett
