Python's \keyword{with} statement supports the concept of a runtime
context defined by a context manager. This is implemented using
-three distinct methods; these are used to allow user-defined
-classes to define a runtime context.
+two separate methods that allow user-defined classes to define
+a runtime context that is entered before the statement body is
+executed and exited when the statement ends.

- supported both a locked context for normal thread synchronisation
- and an unlocked context to temporarily release a held lock while
- performing a potentially long running operation)

- manager is file objects, which are returned from __enter__() to
- allow \function{open()} to be used directly in a with
- statement. An example of a context object that returns a related
- object is \code{decimal.Context} which sets the active decimal
- context to a copy of the context manager and then returns the copy.
