Erm... I am not joking.

Do you really think I recall every discussion or braindead proposal from 
these mailing lists over the last 20 years ?

I appreciate your high esteem of my memory, but alas, age takes it's toll... ;-)

But presumably you mean some construct as

With QMyVeryLongQueyObjectName as Q do
   try
     // Do things with Q
   finally
     Q.Close;
   end;

?

That is a modification of the current "with". 
I assumed you meant to make an unchanged "with" safe.

That said, a construct such as "With QMyVeryLongQueyObjectName as Q do" has my support...

Michael.
