Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version:      4.4.4
PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  "With" keyword

Description:
------------
Visual Basic has a neat little code trick that I'd like to see in PHP...
With object1
    .property1="value"
    .function1()
End With
And it can be nested. This is useful if you don't want to create a
variable to hold the return of, e.g. a function call that returns an
array, when you only need it for two or three lines.

Reproduce code:
---------------
with($nested_array['a_very_long_key']){
    $[0]='apples';
    with(function1($[1]->data))
        echo template($['title'],$['content']);
}

// or

with $object1:
    with $->property1:
        function1($['key_of_property1']);
    endwith
endwith
