Interestingly it has been pointed out to me that for() can be used as a with, but it doesnt quite do it for me...

for ($some->{complex}[$object]{that}{we}[$need]{to}[$use]) {
  $_->foo;
  $_->bar;
}

And a proper with construct allows the compiler opportunities to optimize far beyond what any other solution allows as it explicitly states that the object will be immutable for the duration of the with. *sigh*
