Shouldn't this:

"where Expression evaluates to a class instance or struct reference."

read:

"where Expression evaluates to a class reference or struct instance."

Do you speak "wiki"?

As of today, all or almost all documentation pages have a link at the bottom
for:
"Add feedback and comments regarding this page."

This link will take you to the associated wiki4d's page for that specific page of documentation related to statement#with: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DocComments/Statement

On this page, you can directly communicate your suggestion to the author/maintainer of that page (probably "The WB" or jcc7?). There doesn't seem to be any registration required to author new pages, or revise existing pages. It is as simple as clicking on the "Edit" link (there are one each at the upper right and lower right, plus there is a link labelled "Edit text of this page" which does the same thing.

Try it! It's fun!

For wiki newbies, there is a "TestPage" for practicing. The key thing to realize is that you can make a small change, and then click on the "Preview" button. Look in the lower half of the webpage to see what happened, and revise the upper half of the webpage accordingly to have it come out right. At first, this might take a dozen or more iterations, but that doesn't matter. When it looks ok, click on the "Save" button.

If the page won't behave and you aren't sure how to undo something, just keep using the "Back" arrow so that the page isn't saved. Even if something flawed inadvertently gets saved, my impression is that a wiki admin can restore.

If it applies, here are some useful wiki links for newbies: http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?WhatIsaWiki http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?OneMinuteWiki http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?WikiFaq http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?WikiHelp/HowToEdit

Here is an existing wiki4d page I found helpful to use as a guide for submitting suggestions. It relates to the documentation for "Arrays", but is otherwise very similar to the comment you are making about the "with" token. http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DocComments/Arrays

Surely it should be "object reference" not "class reference"?
