Module macro.with
A with
statement.
This works more like the Visual Basic statement than the Pascal one; fields have an explicit period to indicate that they are special. This makes variable scoping explcit.
aLongTableName = {}
with aLongTableName do
.a = 1
.b = {{x=1},{x=2}}
.c = {f = 2}
print(.a,.c.f,.b[1].x)
end
Fields that follow an identifier or a }
are passed as-is.
