[docs] [issue28516] contextlib.ExitStack.__enter__ has trivial but undocumented behavior

R. David Murray added the comment:

Actually, the __enter__ method is looked up on the class, so saying "the __enter__ method of the instance" could be a bit confusing.  Also, many context managers return self, so 'trivially' isn't really necessary as a modifier.

What if we added a sentence to the first paragraph that said "ExitStack instances return themselves when used in a with statement."  Since that is immediately followed by an example of doing that, it seems like the best place to put it.
