c# array-initialization

Since I like to Split() strings, I usually use

new char[] { ';' }

or something like that for a parameter for Split().

Is there any shortcut for creating a character array with one element at compile time? Not that I mind typing, but...

";".ToCharArray()

You can use this with multiple chars:

";,\t".ToCharArray()
