In that case shouldn't the above be

   with Gtk.Arguments;        use it;
   with Gtk.Button;           use it;
   with Gtk.Handlers;

(Does this imply we could have

   with Gtk.Arguments, Gtk.Button;  use them;
   with Gtk.Handlers;

:-)

Also, wouldn't

   with use Gtk.Arguments, Gtk.Button;

be cleaner (but less readable) than

   with and use Gtk.Arguments, Gtk.Button;
