Could really do with a Delphi "WITH" equivalent

but now we are getting off topic here... even in a great oop design there are still times when a "with" or "alias" comes in handy.

I think this is a good example for "Alias"

setvalue(typex(mylist.myobject).getotherobject().getvaluex() * typex(mylist.myobject).getotherobject().getvaluey()

Alias a = "typex(mylist.myobject).getotherobject()"
setvalue(a.getvaluex() * a.getvaluey())
setothervalue(a.getvaluex() / a.getvaluey())
...

[edit]changed objectx() to typex()
