<p>could the compiler avoid "with" pitfalls?</p>
<p>now the compiler attach a property to the closest "with" where it finds it.</p>
<p>the compiler could check if the property appears in another "with" of the "with" stack and produce a message (hint, warning or error, which may be configurated).</p>
<p>is not it a way to make the "with" safe?</p>
<p> </p>

<br />Yes, something close to alias in SQL, instead of plain elision which "with" currently performs. This would allow for a clearer writing without the pitfalls of the Pascal "with".<br clear="all" />
