A "with" should evaluate to an address
IMHO this is an "implementation detail", that any compiler can handle as
it likes to. It also could just work as if in the source the appropriate
record elements code are prefixed by the "with" argument. That does not
prevent that during compilation as well a code using "with" as a fully
expanded code can be optimized to use a pointer to the record.
(I in fact never use "with" as with Delphi 7 - which I last tested on
that behalf - the debugger does not easily show record elements that are
defined in a "with" clause. Moreover more often than not the code with
(nested) with can get rather ambiguous and confusing.)
