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

[Alexsander Rosa]

We use "with" to populate or display properties of objects from our in-house
OPF. However we have some ground rules: most properties are mapped from
tables (DAO pattern) and their names are in portuguese and with an
underscore, like "valor_total".

A common code looks like this:
*with mCliente do begin
  edtNomeRazao.Text := Nome_Razao;
  edtDataNasc.Text := DateToStr(Data_Nascimento);
  edtLimiteCredito.Text := Format('.2n',[Limite_Credito]);
  ...
  end;
*
This works fine.
