Such "static with" that doesn't create a new scope is also useful to define
constant arrays:

void main() {
    enum LongNamedEnum { A, B, C, D }
    const int[LongNamedEnum] foo =
        [LongNamedEnum.A: 10, LongNamedEnum.B: 20,
         LongNamedEnum.C: 30, LongNamedEnum.D: 40];
}


with is usually useful to write such array literals in a shorter space, but you
can't also define the assopciative array as const:

void main() {
    enum LongNamedEnum { A, B, C, D }
    /*const*/ int[LongNamedEnum] foo;
    with (LongNamedEnum)
        foo = [A: 10, B: 20, C: 30, D: 40];
}



void main() {
    enum LongNamedEnum { A, B, C, D }
    static with (LongNamedEnum)
        const int[LongNamedEnum] foo = 
            [A: 10, B: 20, C: 30, D: 40];
}
