the “with” in the parameter is like a “with door do” block inside the entire function scope. I really liked this idea of his because it’s basically something Pascal already does but it’s automatic with this syntax.

procedure OpenDoor(var door: TDoor);
begin
  with door do
   begin
     state := true; // with imports door namespace into entire function scope
   end;
end;
