You are joking, no? It has been discussed on fpc-pascal/fpc-devel several
times. An IIRC Italian community member then usually shows a syntax
description of a safe "with" statement from a maybe more than 20 year old
pascal dialect.

I don't know if that's me, but, yes, I used a variant of pascal (by texas instruments) that allowed to declare aliases with "with", e.g

 with a=somerecord, b=someotherrecord do
 begin
   a.x:=b.x;
 end;

Just because something is 20+ years old doesn't necessarily make it bad. That syntax looks OK to me (i.e. make a and b look like consts) but I also find myself wondering what the type rules are, i.e.

with pod: TTabSheet= Pages.Objects[deleteAt] do

vs

with pod= TTabSheet(Pages.Objects[deleteAt]) do
