Nope. Look below.

What do you mean "in advance"? Compiler knows it at compile time --
what is possible at compile time is possible at runtime, but of course
that would slow down performance /one thing more to search for/.

But! I am not pro "with" -- I think that "with" clause causes code to
read for people much harder. I just wanted to point out that even
interpreting "with" at runtime is still possible to know where the
variable came from.

have a nice day
