Implicit typing; why just local variables?

by

Eric Lippert did an entire blog post on the subject.

In summary, the main problem is that it would have required a major re-architecture of the C# compiler to do so. Declarations are currently processed in a single pass manner. This would require multiple passes because of the ability to form cycles between inferred variables. VB.NET has roughly the same problem.
