[Lazarus] 'with' is evil, isn't it?

[Alexander Klenin]

I also use 'with' extensively, despite the risks,
since with the right usage the readablity gains are considerable.

Error is IMHO too severe. I think a warning if the name inside of
'with' overrides a name from outer scope
would be an acceptable compromise.

Of course, a disambiguation facility would be even better,
but I am afraid FPC developers will resist this improvement :(
