What if we simply special-cased the with slot in type(), such that if it is populated with a generator object, that object is automatically wrapped using the @contextmanager decorator? (Jason actually suggested this idea previously)

You don't want to check if it's a generator, you want to check if it's a function whose func_code has the relavent bit set.

Seems a bit magical to me, but haven't thought about it hard.
