[FIXED] What is the longest legal statement block you can make with only C# keywords?

Issue

I was writing some code in C#, and I found myself writing:

return new MyClass(...

when I noticed that both the return and the new were both C# keywords. So I wondered what is the longest legal sequence of keywords in C#. All I could think of is:

internal static override void MyFunc(...

Where internal static override void are all keywords. Can you think of a longer sequence of keywords?

Note: There's really no point to the question. I'm just hoping to pour more some fun on the fire :-)

Solution

For 6:

new protected internal unsafe virtual decimal Foo() {...}

Edit for 7:

new protected internal unsafe virtual extern decimal Foo();

If we allow brackets and braces...

(edited the "lock", "new object()", "as" and "string" were contributed by others; see comments)

decimal Bar() {
    lock (new object() as string) {
        if (true) {
            checked {
                unsafe {
                    try {
                        do {
                            return default(decimal);
                            unchecked {break;}
                            continue;
                        } while (false);
                    }
                    catch { throw; }
                    finally { }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
