The real question is whether such a macro is useful.
I think it can be. I gave a couple examples in bug
#33595. It was those examples that made me think
such a macro might be useful.
I certainly think it can be useful.
On a couple of occasions I've used code which does a similar thing
with advice -- adding temporary advice, running a body, and removing
the advice again.
In both cases one could argue for a more persistent hook or advice
which performs its own check to see whether it should do things, but
that might also entail writing a new wrapper to perform the test, so
there's appeal in a with-* approach (particularly for things which are
wanted only very occasionally).
