the “with” in the parameter is like a “with door do” block inside the entire
function scope. I really liked this idea of his because it’s basically
something Pascal already does but it’s automatic with this syntax.
procedure OpenDoor(var door: TDoor);
begin
with door do
begin
state := true; // with imports door namespace into entire function scope
end;
end;
