Stefan H-M Ludwig writes: "I strongly advocate dropping WITH on pointers in commercial compilers." The canonical form for a frame handler in the Oberon system begins with a WITH on a pointer. (For example, see Reiser 19.4.1, p. 270.) One could redesign the system so that it either used type-bound procedures or passed the frame as a VAR parameter, but the former means that we lose the ability to change behavior just by using a different handler proc and the latter means that we don't have the pointer to the frame if we needed it for something like change notification.
