That also solves a problem with resource acquisition block generators that I 
hadnt been able to articulate until now. What about resources whose lifetimes 
are more complex than a lexical block, where you cant use a block statement? 
It seems quite natural for code that want to manage its own resources to call 
__enter__ and __exit__ directly. Thats not true of the block generator API.
