is quite annoying...

Rather,

allow

with(A,B,C){

Also, B is checked to come from A so one does not have to do

with(A, A.B, A.B.C)

also

have an opWith which is similar to opDispatch for With overriding.

You don't need the braces.

with (A) with (B) with (C)
{
    ...
}

Wow this must be the shortest and most satisfying thread ever.

tbh I found the with keyword to be unnecessarily verbiage. In C# you can initialize a class like this:
var exp = new Class { };

That is just my opinion though.

What does that have to do with the `with` keyword?

I don’t understand your point. How is that different from D?

 auto exp = new class {};

I think that what 12345swordy means is that in C#, you can directly initialize class members in the curly brackets:

var exp = new Something() {
    SomeMember = 42
}

So you get shorter syntax to init class members, without the need for a "with" keyword.

First, new Class has different capitalization, so it's not an anonymous class like in your code. Second, I believe 12345swordy omitted some parts of his intended code, so a more correct example would be:

    class Class {
        int n;
        string s;
    }

    var exp = new Class { n = 4, s = "foo" };

This, D doesn't do. The equivalent would be:

    class Class {
        int n;
        string s;
    }

    auto exp = new Class();
    with (exp) {
        n = 4;
        s = "foo";
    }

Oh yeah, I see,

I usually use with for existing things, like

with(MyEnum) ...

so it didn't come to my mind.

Exactly, what I meant, thank you Simen.
