Syntactical elements cannot be abused. Only coders feel abused when 
their semantic associations to syntactic elements are disturbed.

All you are saying is, that you are unable to spontanuously change 
the views on your objects.

Why is it helping your mental style of reading code if you are forced 
to change that view with constructs like "with"---or has anybody 
complains about the "with"-statement.

And if so, why don't you accept an "append"-statement?
