The issue is that when you introduce this hint, it is almost certain
that someone will ask `how to disable that hint?` on this list.

IMO it would be a waste of time to implement such a thing. If I were a
developer (hmm, actually I am one :-) ), and I would work on a project
like FPC (meaning: in my free time, not getting paid to do the job), I
would invest my time in something that actually means something, like
fixing a bug, optimizing the RTL for a specific target, writing
documentation, etc... We are programmers after all, not end users who
want to be treated with silken gloves.

You've only got 10 choices really: either you like the `with` statement,
or you don't. In the latter case don't use it. Remember that the
original question was about functionality, what this thread has now
evolved into is, in my opinion, off-topic.
