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. The practice I follow is to use present tense, singular, unless there's a really good reason not to. Makes remembering a lot easier: was it ignore? ignoring? ignores? ignored? Answer: ignore. Singular would be "ignores". In this instance, "ignore" is imperative.
Then let's go with imperative. ;)
