That general idea is what I do today. It requires me creating box,
which is what the ~~ no longer requires. It also removes one more
line of source code, yet at the expense of not having the lengthy
reference somewhere nearby. If the reference is not common, you'll
probably want it. But if it's under an umbrella like "settings" it
may not be needed as it's an obvious part of the design.

You can include compound members:
w~~rc1.left
w~~rc2.left
The shorthand portion takes up the common portion, leaving only the
unique portion as the focus in code.
It's not for everything. It's a tool for where it has uses.
