I'm not a touch-typer, but I've never seen much of a point to "with". If I
have to access a bunch of members of "foo.member.x.bar[17].fizzle", I'll
just do "auto fizz = foo.member.x.bar[17].fizzle;" and use that, or put it
into a function that takes a "typeof(fizze)", or do something else along
those lines. I've yet to come across a case where something like that isn't
perfectly sufficient.
