The context managers should simply forward to the underlying file object.

There is no underlying file object.  I presume you mean the reader/writer object?  Which have no close method, so there is no point in making them a context manager.  There is zero benefit and positive cost (an additional nesting level).  Just use with to open the file you then wrap in a reader/writer instance.
