Research direction

Start with the Jinja documentation for the “with” statement and the example in this issue, then trace how Jinjava reports the current “Unknown tag: with” syntax error. Done means the shown template parses and renders with the requested scoped values, consistent with the linked Jinja behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice to have support for the "with" statement.
See https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/templates/#with-statement for details and examples.

{% with jobname="my_job", schedule="0 1 * * 0", deadline=300 %}
  {% include 'objects/CronJob.jinja.yml' %}
{% endwith %}

Currently you get:
Syntax error in '{% with jobname="my_job", schedule="0 1 * * 0", deadline=300 %}': Unknown tag: with
