I would like to come to an agreement with everyone how to proceed.
From the discussion on the mailing list, I see that quite some people are
opposed to breaking the compatibility unless we name the next release 2.0.
Since that has not been decided upon, we need a different fix.
How about we introduce (and immediately deprecate) the `with(...)` method.
We should describe there that this is a temporary workaround. The `with(...)
method only differs in the return type and calls `apply(...)`, casting the
returned value.
Would everyone be okay with that?
