Can the following statements be valid?

Foo foo;
foo.setData(
with(new SomeObj(Arguments))
{
// some init to SomeObj
} // end of with
); // end of setData

Actually I was thinking of asking Walter to make any with statements which are passed a null reference to be skipped, as this would simplify the many times we check for null before setting members:

a = getResource();
if ( a is null ) return;
with(a) { ... lotsa stuff here ... }

becomes

with( getResource() )
{
..stuff here..
}

but that may be 'semantic overloading' taken too far, hehe.
