“with” is completely agnostic about what it is working on. It merely checks
for definedness and sets the topicalizer if so.
Please also note there is nothing special about the method .new per se: it’s
just that there is some nice functionality built into the core if you don’t
create your own method “new” in your class and you inherit from Any (which is
the default).
Your suggestion seems rather specialized for your situation.
