I *like* it.  Better than the `with()' I independently invented.

I think the fact that three people indeoendently invented 
with()/parallel()/weave()/zip() in responmse to the syntax discussion
is in itself pretty good evidence that a generator builtin would be better
than new syntax.

In recent years it has been suggested that the Second Amendment
protects the "collective" right of states to maintain militias, while
it does not protect the right of "the people" to keep and bear arms.
If anyone entertained this notion in the period during which the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights were debated and ratified, it
remains one of the most closely guarded secrets of the eighteenth
century, for no known writing surviving from the period between 1787
and 1791 states such a thesis.
