Nope, article doesn't claim that. I just said that Python and Pascal have a with statement, I didn't say here is an implementation of Python's PEP-whatever in R

  > For me this basic functionality is enough. Its not about "basic functionality": this does exactly nothing in common with the function of the Python with statement. What you provide gives very similar functionality to the "with" statement in Pascal or Visual Basic, but, aside from the name, has nothing whatsoever in common with the "with" statement in Python (which itself has more in common with Ruby's new-with-block idiom for opening, using, and closing a resource than with the Pascal/VB use of "with" as shorthand for object-member-access-within-a-delimited block.) If you didn't know what Python's with statement does, you probably shouldn't have mentioned it at all in reference to what you are providing for Ruby.
