Regarding whether there's a compelling reason to ban "with", what
about the issue that "with" is an insanely confusing construct?

On the spreadsheet, how much red was accumulated on "strict with"?
IIRC, it was a lot. Does anyone think "with" is a valuable construct?
Why? Anyone care to post a defense of "with"?
