+1. A friend of mine is "still experimenting" with 'with' and I hate 
reading his code. :)

with (new C()) {
     i = 42;    // is that a member of C?
     j = 43;    // how about that?
     foo();     // and that?
     bar();     // and that?
}

Thanks for obfuscating! :)

+1000 :o)

To me, 'with' is useful only in that case.
