Except that in the with construct the named alias will not be an
instance of variable, but rather a way of _naming_ it shorter, an _alias_;
I agree that making it a variable will create all sorts of problems
regarding memory management, lifetime management and so on; but
the named alias would only live in the block following the
with, and could be forced to be strong-typed too. Think plaintext substitution
before compilation...
And it's not a new idea either: texas instruments' pascal for the 9995 had it
(though it was 20 years ago and I don't remember the exact syntax, I think it
was
with a=some.structure,b=some.other.structure do
instead of
with a:=some.structure,b:=some.other.structure
but my memory could be wrong).
Well... if another Pascal dialect had it the changes might be higher
that it gets integrated into FPC.
So it might be useful to research the exact with syntax of Texas
Instruments' Pascal.
