Given the history of API design errors in contextlib (cf. contextlib.nested in general, making contextlib._GeneratorContextManager a subclass of contextlib.ContextDecorator), I've realised Raymond is right in wanting to see this idea more thoroughly vetted before it gets added to the standard library.

Accordingly, I plan to create a 'unittest2' style backport library for contextlib (imaginatively named 'contextlib2') and prototype the concept further there.
