Except that it conflicts with an identifier used in a standard library.

Could we fix this using the same ugly hack we use for the 'as' keyword?  That 
is, treat it as a keyword only when used in the right context.  I'm not sure 
of the answer - seems like it would require extra lookahead to decide which 
way 'with' is being used.
