I'm hesitant to file a bug because it'll just be immediately closed with 
a link to https://dlang.org/spec/statement.html#WithStatement. I 
understand that's how it works, but it's weird and weak to human mistakes.

I'm with Jonathan, it should be an error. It shouldn't matter what scope 
you declared `i` in, just when you use it, the ambiguity should trigger. 
The fix is super-simple, name it something else!

Note that this won't fix other ambiguities. For example, if Foo has an 
opDispatch that matches "i", or `i` is a UFCS function (actually, I 
don't know if UFCS works using `with`).
