With 343 accepted, we can now add enter() and exit() methods to objects.

What term should describe those objects in the documentation? Resource managers.

Thing is, there may be no resource; in my talk at EuroPython:

I used a with statement to establish and dis-establish an error handler -- would you call that a resource?
