Ehm. How can "with" ever be safe ?

Don't get me wrong:

I use it abundantly. If I have QMYQueryObjectWithAVeryLongName then being able to write

With QMYQueryObjectWithAVeryLongName do
   try
     // Really nice code
   finally
     Close;
   end;

is really good (tm).

NOT being able to use with would seriously impede on the readability of my code.

Add this to the observation that the lazarus team demands 'clear' variable names,
and does not like/accept i,m,f,p,q or whatever as variable names, and using "with" 
becomes very attractive indeed...
