why this code compiles (url is not a keyword)?

Question

I have this code:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("iexplore");
            http://www.google.com;
            Console.WriteLine("maximize"); 
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

It's not clear to me why this code compiles? Because I have an url there and it's not a c# keyword...

Try adding `goto http;` in the end and you'll understand. – Stan Aug 23 '16 at 14:45 — Stan, Aug 23 '16 at 14:45

is a comment so

http://www.google.com;

is the label http: followed by the comment //www.google.com;
