Maybe to fit in with other verb-like APIs used as context managers: it's open() not opened(). open() predates context managers, but maybe we need a new convention. with ignore(FileNotFoundError): vs with ignored(FileNotFoundError): To me anyway, the latter sounds better.

I'm still -0, and maybe now -1 on the idea, mostly because it encourages an anti-pattern.

But, to continue to paint the shed, shouldn't it be "ignoring", to match "closing"?
