If you change the API it isn't backwards compatible. The question is
if this is a problem or not, if anything outside Zope itself is using
this call, which is hard to say.
Options here are
1. Deprecating the "with" parameter for "with_" and supporting both in
2.12 but not supporting Python2.6.
2. Using **kw in the argument and looking for noth "with" and "with_",
that way, which will be backwards compatible.
