Anyway, my preferred solution would be to allow aliases in 'with'
statement,
which would improve readability even further while sacrificing only a
few characters:
with a := MyCompomentList[0] do begin
Rectangle(0, 0, a.Width, a.Height);
end;
A simple solution to something which I don't think is a problem either.
[I fully agree with Michael van Canneyt here]
I agree the above is indeed an acceptable solution.
But I do think it is a corner case, because it goes against pascal
philosophy which says that all identifiers must be declared prior to
being used.
How about
with const a = MyCompomentList[0] do begin
Rectangle(0, 0, a.Width, a.Height);
end;
a is, after all, a constant: it can't be changed and doesn't occupy any
storage.
