You can use the `require` function [1] for this:

Many "methods" for built-in AAs are located in the `object` module. It makes them a bit tricky to find in the documentation, if you don't already know they're there.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of the 'object' doc. Looks like the
language documentation does mention require() in "Inserting if
not present", but combining it with 'with' is a neat trick.
