I had to test that syntax. I got it working with these versions:
    C c; with(c = new C()) {
        i = 10;
    }

    C d = new C(); with(d) {
        i = 20;
    }

I really like the C# object initializer syntax, so your version would be
much appreciated. Or if with could create objects in outer scope like this

    with(auto c = new C()) {
        i = 30;
    }
