Your autoclose example doesn't use __enter__, and your autolock example 
would work just as well if you moved the __enter__ code into __init__ 
(although then you couldn't write it the alternative way you suggest).

Do you have any good examples that actually require __enter__, or could it 
be dropped for even more simplicity?
