FWIW, I agree with you. That would be nice. My practice generally is to code without WITH, then once code is working, make the WITH structure so it hasn't been *too* much of a headache.

Rather than the LOCAL AS, I just include whatever is in the WITH statement in my line of code, then delete it when I'm done with IS. Seems simple enough, and WITHs aren't generally long enough to need to do S&R and the nice bit is, if I forget, no harm done (except for some speed hits).
