This looks like it has a lot of real potential as a valuable tool.
What _does_ it do with a Pascal "with"? Maybe it should mark such
lines in an obvious way for hand-tweaking?

Expanding a Pascal "with" into full field-selection looks intuitively 
similar to the "use" expansion some Ada tools can do.

In any event, good luck with this! Keep up the good work!
