If with is not used it will not *warn*: your program won't compile.

This misses the point. By using `with` I can instruct the compiler that I don't want my program not to compile if I add or remove fields. In the current system I can do this with any update I want to make to a record except if for some strange reason that update happen to touch all the current fields of the record.
