#6201: Fix test_winreg on Windows:
since the introduction of the SETUP_WITH opcode, __enter__ and __exit__ methods must belong to the type, and are not retrieved at the instance level (__dict__ or __getattr__). Add a note in whatsnew about this incompatibility; old style classes are not affected.

-To be written.
+* Because of an optimization for the :keyword:`with` statement, the special
+ methods :meth:`__enter__` and :meth:`__exit__` must belong to the object's
+ type, and cannot be directly attached to the object's instance. This
+ affects new-styles classes (derived from :class:`object`) or C extension
+ types. (:issue:`6101`.)
