I would like to do this:
with MyClassInstance as mci, SomethingElse do begin
Caption := 'A new caption';
for i := 0 to Count - 1 do
mci[i] := UpperCase(mci[i]);
end;
That is, to add an optional "as" clause to the with statement so that access
array element in a structure is made easier.
I fail to see how this would be helpful.
It's just more confusing.
Suddenly there are 2 (or more?) identifiers meaning the same thing.
If I want to avoid typing a long identifer name multiple times
I would simply select it and copy it to the clipboard.
If someone (I myself?) chose a long identifier name I think it was for some
reason (readability?).
Foiling this by making the code more obscure is not a good idea IMO.
That's making the code a bit more C'ish (harder to read).
You won't cripple down all variables to one letter names A, B, C only because
this is easier to type, won't you?
