Following [Best Practices](https://nix.dev/guides/best-practices#with-scopes), `with` is a problematic language construction and should be avoided. Usually it is employed like a "factorization": `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]` is written `with X; [ A B C D ]`. However, as shown in the link above, the syntatical rules of `with` are not so intuitive, and this "distributive rule" is very selective, in the sense that `with X; [ A B C D ]` is not equivalent to `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]`. However, this factorization is still useful to "squeeze" some code, especially in lists like `meta.maintainers`. On the other hand, it becomes less justifiable in bigger scopes. This is especially true in cases like `with lib;` in the top of expression and in sets like `meta = with lib; { . . . }`. That being said, this patch removes most of example code in the current documentation. The exceptions are, for now - doc/functions/generators.section.md - doc/languages-frameworks/coq.section.md because, well, they are way more complicated, and I couldn't parse them mentally - yet another reason why `with` should be avoided! |
