WITH statement

[Root Boy Jim]

Re: WITH statement:
	The ambiguous condition scares me too, and I think I could live
	much better with being able to take the address of the thing
	and then using it, like:

	       recpointer := &recarray[selector];
	       ...
	       recpointer^.foo := 1;
	       recpointer^.bar := 2;

The ambiguity is worse than you might think. I happen to think that
all structure members that are logically the same thing ought to
have the same name. This was not allowed in original C because
structures shared the same name space. On the other hand, you could
use any structure member with any structure type.

I am glad I learned C after the change. Requiring different names
for the same item is another example where C outgrew Pascal.
	
	Not only has UMD5 arisen as a MicroVax from its previous
	incarnation as an 11/44, but I am using a Macintosh Plus and
	MacKermit to type this in.

Congrats.

	Are we having fun yet?

I still see you don't believe in TABS.
