It would probably be useful if we added support to the compiler to

Yes, please. Something like -Wshadow would be very useful.
That already exists and is enabled by default for local variables and
parameter names hiding fields. It even gives errors in FPC and ObjFPC
modes, rather than warnings. It's just not (yet) implemented for
with-statements (and local variables or fields hiding global
variables, but that's a different matter).
