Too "bad" that `with` blocks are forbidden in strict mode and most JS is strict mode by default now. You could somewhat approximate it with lots of unadorned blocks and complex object destructuring. { const { prop1: a, prop2: A, prop3: xTy } = obj // … { const { prop1: A, prop2: xTy, prop3: a } = obj // … } } Something like that.
