-Since `with` requires a closure or a function and creates another call-frame,
-it can sometimes be beneficial to use the macro form.
+`ScopedValues` provides a macro version of `with`. The expression `@with var=>val expr`
+evaluates `expr` in a new dynamic scope with `var` set to `val`. `@with var=>val expr`
+is equivalent to `with(var=>val) do expr end`. However, `with` requires a zero-argument
+closure or function, which results in an extra call-frame. As an example, consider the
+following function `f`:
 
 ```julia
 using Base.ScopedValues
+const a = ScopedValue(1)
+f(x) = a[] + x
+```
+
+If you wish to run `f` in a dynamic scope with `a` set to `2`, then you can use `with`:
 
-const STATE = ScopedValue{State}()
-with_state(f, state::State) = @with(STATE => state, f())
+```julia
+with(() -> f(10), a=>2)
+```
+
+However, this requires wrapping `f` in a zero-argument function. If you wish to avoid
+the extra call-frame, then you can use the `@with` macro:
+
+```julia
+@with a=>2 f(10)
 ```
