I'm not per se against going there but there are 2 points that needs to be considered. The first one is the "self important lookup" which obviate the need for this DIP to some extent.
Second, if we are going to proceed anyway, the way this is specified is not ideal. This DIP effectively adds 2 features: 1/ The ability to use import foo as an argument to a with statement. 2/ The introducing of a with declaration in addition of a with statement.
These two addition are independents as far as the spec goes and should be kept as such as to avoid an explosion of ad hoc solutions for the use case we want to enable, rather than providing building blocks that combine nicely to build such solutions.
