IMHO, 'with' should have an implicit pointer like 'self' (could be
'this' or whatever).
This<g> will fail with nested With's, or a With with multiple expressions.
A nicer syntax would require only an "." for your "this.".
Eg:
procedure TControlDescendant.Paint;
begin
with Canvas do
begin
this.Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width, this.Height);
.Rectangle(0,0, .Width, .Height);
edn;
end;
One I've floated elsewhere is to allow with to define an alias with
the same notation as a constant:
with tsm= TSming(caller^) do begin
while tsm.Count <= writePos do
tsm.Append('');
