It comes from Spec#, in which you can add a ! to a type (such as
string!) to indicate that it cannot be null. C# doesn't support that,
unfortunately, but I believe one of MS's static analysis tools will
recognize /*!*/ and treat it the same way.

Personally, I'm really hoping that notation makes it into C# 4.
