We all know Lazarus is way better that Delphi - so that's always good to
know. :)

As already mentioned, human refactoring of WITH statements can, and has,
caused lots of debugging issues afterwards. Two or more classes used in
a with statement, both classes have the same property name - how the
hell must the developer know (and the compiler for that matter) which
one is meant where. Bottom line (for me), WITH gives more trouble than
its worth, so I avoid it at all costs.
