The #with method would be defined to act just like the earlier given #set_all 
example (no instance_eval). That's all.

and

  ..class_method

instead of

  self.class.class_method

?

I agree that would be nice shorthand for self, if it could be done. Either 
that or perhaps:

  my_obj.with {
    @.x = 1
    @.y = 2
    @.move_to(10,10)
    @.col = :RED
    @.repaint
  }

so

  @. == self
  @@. == self.class
