Imagine you have this code:

   foo = 1
   bar = 2
   foo bar do
     :ok
   end

Would you expect it to be equivalent to:

   foo = 1
   bar = 2
   foo
   bar do
     :ok
   end

It isn’t because “foo” in its own line is a valid expression. Replace “foo”
by “with” and you can see why your proposed syntax doesn’t work.

If you want to write it as you proposed, you need to use parens:

   foo = 1
   bar = 2
   foo(
     bar
   ) do
     :ok
   end
