"with" still sucks + removing features + adding features

we don't need any new syntax to get rid of with.
most of the time you use it like (for example):

for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
   with (myLongVar[i].myLongMember.MylongOtherMember) {
     myLongMethod();
   }
}

so why not allow:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
   alias myLongVar[i].myLongMember.MylongOtherMember tempSymbol;
   tempSymbol.myLongMethod();
}

this doesn't add any new syntax
