(I think Raymond has identified the problem I have with resource manager more clearly then I did; I certainly don't think I'd realise what "decimal.Context() is a resource manager" meant at first reading).

I'm also worried that "resource manager" is too narrow a term, and would only fit by considerable stretching in many cases.

I'm thinking about something like "context manager", or at least something with "context" in it.
