Infix notation and with(...) does not work as I expected

Viewed 807

Consider the following scenario: I have a class Test

class Test() {
    infix fun say(msg: String) = println(msg)
}

and a main method

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val test = Test()

    test say "Hello World!" //Works

    with(test) {
        say "Goodbye World!" //Does not work
        say("Hello again!") //Works
    }
}

As you can see I'm testing out the infix notation. Considering with(...) allows you to work with the object passed as parameter in the with block without having to access its members through the dot notation, I would expect the infix notation to work like I show in my example above.

Unfortunately this does not work, is there a reason why this does not work? Is it a bug or simply a limitation? Or perhaps I am not interpreting the with(...) function correctly?
