Description

StaticModules.jl has a macro @with defined, and Infiltrator.jl is (maybe) defining a @with.

Ultimately @with just seems like too general a name for a macro that is so data-frames specific. It's also hard to imagine a With.jl package we could base this on because @with creates an anonymous function whereas a type-stable object can get by with just a let block.

Research direction

Start by reading the @with macro definition in StaticModules.jl and the issue discussion about the possible conflict with Infiltrator.jl. Compare the proposed naming direction, including the distinction from a hypothetical With.jl package; done means the project has agreed on a less-general macro name and completed the corresponding rename.
