We had this kind of proposal earlier, didn’t seem to be very well received. I still think it would be a useful thing, but I’d do it as a statement (extension of do) that introduces new lexical scope (similar to self)

This pair works pretty well, too, if you don’t mind free functions:
func with<T>(inout this: T, @noescape using: inout T->Void) { using(&this) }
func with<T>(this: T, @noescape using: T->Void) { using(this) }It works either with classes or mutable structs if you call it correctly and the type doesn’t matter.

It can be (more-or-less) solved in library code today:
extension NSObjectProtocol {
public func with(@noescape fn: Self -> Void) -> Self {
fn(self)
return self
}
}This way, you can do, on NSObjects:
textLabel.with {
$0.textAlignment = .Left
$0.textColor = .darkTextColor()
}I love this pattern.
You can also make it a function to make it work with any value of any kind (it will then take form of `with(foo) { …}`).
Ideally, if you could write a universal extension (something like `extension Any`), you could just add this behavior, with method syntax, to everything.

I recently learned some VBA and I found a very conveniently `with` statement.
`with` statement can be helpful to set property for UIKit instance.
for instance a UILabel instance `textLabel` ,with `with` statement we can set UILabel property like this
with textLabel{ .textAlignment = .Left .textColor = UIColor.darkTextColor() .font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(15) }_______________________________________________
