memoryview() acquires resource but it rarely released explicitly. I propose to made memoryview a context manager which calls the release() method in the __exit__() method. Perhaps it worth also add resource warning in the __del__() method if a memoryview was not released.

Already proposed in issue9757.

Well, it was not only proposed, but it was also implemented (by Antoine).

>>> x=memoryview(b'abc')
>>> with x: pass

>>> bytes(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: operation forbidden on released memoryview object
