Would anyone have an opinion if these 2 functions combining use and with should be added to the standard library:

inline fun <T : AutoCloseable?, R> T.useWith(block: T.() -> R): R = use(block)
inline fun <T : Closeable?, R> T.useWith(block: T.() -> R): R = use(block)

It could also be called runClosing since it does the same thing as the run function, and additionally it calls close.

[nikolaymetchev]

The point of use and with is they have a receiver whereas run doesn’t, so it is unclear what you will be calling close on.

run does have a receiver (or, one of its two variants has) - https://kotlinlang.org/docs/scope-functions.html#function-selection

Ah, you are right. it could be called runClosing
