"Why not just wrap the expressions in a tuple ?" Well because you have to 
wrap both sides and mess with those commas, which is annoying for editing 
code and adds noise for the reader. Tags, on the other side, are clearly 
identified as tags, a branching mechanism that is separated from the 
expressions you want to match.

The `with` block is not that complicated, we could even think about adding 
support for left arrow notation, the `with` block beeing just a specific 
case

"I feel like adding a new macro this similar to *with *would just bloat the 
Elixir spec." Well I was more thinking about extending with (allowing this 
syntax when used in the do block) instead of adding a new block.

Using keyword notation wraps everything in lists, I think it's way less 
clear.

Thank you both for comments :)
