Topic: Name mangling and `(e)apply ... with`

Is there any way at all to use (e)apply ... with (name:=val) when name mangling is enabled? It seems like that should be possible, given in particular that term (name:=val) does work with name mangling. But so far I failed to get this to work. This fails:

Set Mangle Names.

Lemma lem1 (P Q: Prop) : P -> Q -> P.
Proof. auto. Qed.

Goal True. Proof.
eapply lem1 with (Q:=True).

And speaking of with, it'd be great if someone could explain this behavior ;) (EDIT: @Pierre-Marie Pédrot already did)

The inability to use with is particularly annoying since term (name:=val) unfortunately only works for implicit arguments

for term (name:=val), a change was made to avoid refreshing names unnecessarily; I wonder if something similar could be done here?
