Your code is syntactic sugar that generates

AddHandler Me.myevent, New EventHandler(AddressOf Me.x_myevent)

You can check this out for yourself with Reflector.

It is relevant, because here are two examples (within the same language 
even) of language-specific syntax for event handling delegates.  I think 
it would be okay if IronRuby had Ruby-like syntax for delegates as well.
