It facilitates referring to the same object repeatedly. I'll quote another's work to make my point:

[Without "with"]
  fileSelector = new Button (this)
  fileSelector.caption ("&File Selector");
  fileSelector.onClick.add (&fileSelectorClick);
  fileSelector.alignLeft (true);
  fileSelector.gridAddRow (0, r);
  fileSelector.sticky ("<>^");


[With "with"]
  with (fileSelector = new Button (this))
  {
     caption ("&File Selector");
     onClick.add (&fileSelectorClick);
     alignLeft (true);
     gridAddRow (0, r);
     sticky ("<>^");
  }


That explains it for me...

Well, the conclusion is,

nothing good come out of this discussion.
Nobody agrees with me and you guys
now put me closer to the radial idiot mark :)

I guess I sound much smarter if I keep my
mounth close ;)

it's also interesting that nobody complains
on dig's API. It's so strange! probably it's
a windows thing and I'm just not used to it.
