Re: Suggested python feature: allowing except in context maneger

Cameron, I'm not really sure I got your point. I've used the "file not
found" exception as an example for a behavior typical on context managers.
This could be a failure to connect to DB, or threads. It also applies to
any kind of possible exception, whether cased by the context manager itself
or the lines inside it. Long story short, this syntax change is as useful
as context managers are

I'm -1 on the idea myself - not every combination of things needs
additional syntactic support, and doing stuff like merging an `except`
with a `wtih` is bound to introduce some weird corner case, complicating
its semantics.
