I see this as really similar to a database transaction, and those start with "session.begin()". Could you tolerate "with beginmoduleinit(name) as m:"?

But for a transaction, it is 'with session', not 'with begin_session'.

With 'begin_module_init' I would have no idea what 'm' was. With Brett's 'module_to_init' I have an intuitive idea about what 'm' is. And if 'm' isn't a module, then module_manager would be better.

(Note that I haven't grokked what Brett's context manager is actually doing/returning, I'm speaking here as an ignorant reader of someone else's code :)

We could even document the ability to check m.initializing to see whether this is a reload() or not.
