+
+Reduce the size of the `Env` struct used in the evaluator by a pointer, or 8 bytes on most modern machines.
+This reduces memory usage during eval by around 2% and wall time by around 3%.

+synopsis: Better error reporting for `with` expressions
+prs: 9658
+---
+
+`with` expressions using non-attrset values to resolve variables are now reported with proper positions.
+
+Previously an incorrect `with` expression would report no position at all, making it hard to determine where the error originated:
+
+```
+nix-repl> with 1; a  
+error:
+       … <borked>
+
+         at «none»:0: (source not available)
+
+       error: value is an integer while a set was expected
+```
+
+Now position information is preserved and reported as with most other errors:
+
+```
+nix-repl> with 1; a
+error:
+       … while evaluating the first subexpression of a with expression
+         at «string»:1:1:
+            1| with 1; a
+             | ^
+
+       error: value is an integer while a set was expected
+```
