There's already an implementation proposed.
No other statement construct works like that, there doesn't
seem to be much point to adding such a special case.
It's possible to add this syntax for any statement, then `with`
wouldn't be a special case :-P But this wouldn't be a good idea
IMO. With `if` and loops, it would hurt readability.
On the other hand, `with` might be useful. It would be used
similar to `using namespace` in C++, and it would (almost) always
appear at the start of a scope.
