C# -> VB: Target typed new does not convert

Comece com a declaração com tipo de destino que falha System.IO.StreamWriter tw = new("runfile.txt"); e o ponto de entrada do stack trace VisitLocalDeclarationStatement em CommonConversions.RemodelVariableDeclaration. Reproduza a conversão usando a entrada C# da issue e verifique se construtores aninhados e new com tipo de destino são convertidos sem uma exceção e produzem uma saída VB válida.

Expected output

In the above you can see a problem converting nested constructors just after "Call New Process With". Easy to fix with a local variable for StartInfo and un-nesting constructors.

There is also a problem with converting

System.IO.StreamWriter tw = new("runfile.txt");

but that is very new syntax. The exceptions seem to relate to this problem where there is no type after the new.
