Brief rant about C#'s var keyword. Short version: Aside from anonymous types ... what's the big deal?

I couldn't comment in your blog, so I'll do it in here:

I think the var was put in C# 3.0 primarily to support LINQ-queries that return anonymous types. In LINQ you can return any kind of objects with variable amount of columns or properties (defined in the select-part).

This ScottGu's article explains it well from the LINQ-perspective, too:
