This isn't supported:

```
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    struct MyStruct
    {
        static void doIt(string thing)
        {
            writeln(thing);
        }
    }

    with(MyStruct)
    {
        "print me".doIt();
    }
}
```

Does it make sense for it to be supported? I've got a use case for it that
deals with letting the user supply their own struct with custom static methods
on it, with the struct acting as a "wrapper" for loose functions.
