That already exists and is enabled by default for local variables and  
parameter names hiding fields. It even gives errors in FPC and ObjFPC  
modes, rather than warnings. It's just not (yet) implemented for  
with-statements (and local variables or fields hiding global  
variables, but that's a different matter).
