There are at least two libraries in hslibs which would like to use
'with' as an identifier.

Foreign currently uses 'withObject', where only 'with' would be
consistent. This function is related to 'withArray' as 'poke' is
related to 'pokeArray'.

XmlCombinators switched -fglasgow-exts off when 'with' was
introduced. One cannot use this function direcly from a code compiled
under -fglasgow-exts.
