Suggestion: property and event setting block attached to C# type instance

Instead of having to write in C#

      speechRecognizer = CreateSpeechRecognizer();
      if (speechRecognizer != null)
      {
        speechRecognizer.SomeProperty = someValue;
        speechRecognizer.SomeOtherProperty = someOtherValue;
        speechRecognizer.SpeechRecognized += SpeechRecognized;
        speechRecognizer.SpeechHypothesized += SpeechHypothesized;
        speechRecognizer.SpeechRecognitionRejected += SpeechRecognitionRejected;
      }

I’d prefer to write:

      speechRecognizer = CreateSpeechRecognizer() {
        SomeProperty = someValue,
        SomeOtherProperty = someOtherValue,
        SpeechRecognized += SpeechRecognized,
        SpeechHypothesized += SpeechHypothesized,
        SpeechRecognitionRejected += SpeechRecognitionRejected
      }

that is after any Type I’d like to be able to add {…} block with assignments to its properties, like I can do when I create a new type.

Do note that I also would like this syntax and the existing new Type(…) {…} syntax (which is a subset of this one) to support assignment and removal of event handlers, not just setting of properties, as shown in the example above
