I've just published the first-ever release of Wither!
It's a compiler plugin that reduces nested with calls by allowing you to write code like:

with("Hello world")
contextOf<String>()

Features:
• with can contain multiple values with("Hi", 42), with semantics similar to context parameter groups (but note that, currently, the values are introduced as extension receivers, so it's truly like with instead of context)
• multiple `with`s can override each other:

with("Hi")
with("Low")
println(contextOf<String>()) // prints "Low"

• `with`s are scoped inside of the local block, and so you can have with calls inside an if or a when branch, and it won't affect other call sites. This means you can also have them in lambdas!
Under the hood, this uses the same infrastructure that DataFrame uses. Hence, I'm somewhat confident that this plugin will continue to be possible.
Try it today!

plugins {
  id("io.github.kyay10.wither") version "0.0.1"
}

and simply import io.github.kyay10.wither.with
