Is it possible to make names accessible within a block, like this?

```julia
obj = (;x=1, y=2)
with obj do
x + y
end
# x and y are not accessible here

```

With a macro:

```julia
julia> using StaticModules

julia> obj = (;x=1, y=2);

julia> @with obj begin
         @show x + y
       end;
x + y = 3

```
