Actually I was thinking of asking Walter to make any with statements 
which are passed a null reference to be skipped, as this would simplify 
the many times we check for null before setting members:

a = getResource();
if ( a is null ) return;
with(a) { ... lotsa stuff here ... }

becomes

with( getResource() )
{
..stuff here..
}

but that may be 'semantic overloading' taken too far, hehe.
