First thought when I saw this feature was "no please not another Scala-ish" feature. Don't like "with()", don't like scope function naming (always have to look them up), don't like functions with expression bodies (without curly braces).

These features encourage chasing after diminishing marginal return in aesthetics and conciseness, taking up developer time that would be spent better elsewhere. They are also needlessly complicating the language and IMO don't carry their weight.
