I was kinda kiding. Meaning this is entirely experimental and academic. =
I'm perfectly happy with the way things currently are. In the =
experimental spirit I like "idem" (actually my favorite is '@') for the =
"lvalue". And in the above example I was testing a generalization of it =
to... hmmm... "the latest useful thing". So your counterexample would be =
equivalent to

with A;
with B;
use B;
use B;

I wonder if this is even legal.

In music writing there is a symbol for this:

o//
//o

I think is only for the latest *bar*, so it is not generalized.

My degree of satisfaction with existing editors is below say 70% (GPS =
and emacs included). I'll write the perfect editor some day...
