Where do you want to use it where it cannot be used?

This works today:

```
     with(Color)
     final switch(color) {
         case red: writeln("red"); break;
     	case orange: writeln("orange");
     }
```


```
     with(MySuperLongName) set_my_flag( MyFlagA |  MyFlagB | 
MyFlagC | MyFlagD | MyFlagE | MyFlagF);
```
More clear at the cost of a few more characters to type. Quite 
acceptable compromise in my view.
