This has nothing to do with the problem with 'with' (and is probably the 
wrong mailing list :-) but as there's obviously some desire to shorten the 
typing, how about supporting:

$one{two\three\four} instead of $$$one{two}{three}{four}

This currently is only a "backslash found where operator expected" and 
looks rather good and Perlish... normal slashes would look even better but 
then we'd run into troubles if you use variables instead of bare words and 
those variables contain numbers ;-)
