This is about the 16 billionth time someone has suggested "with" as a
solution, and every time I am forced to point out yet again that with()
doesn't cut it.
auto hist = Histogram(someArray, 100)
.barColor(getColor(255, 0, 0)) // Returns a Histogram
.toFigure // Returns a Figure
.title("A histogram");
Try doing that anywhere near as succinctly with a with statement.
