I like that as well. My hat in the ring would be "brackets" or "bracketed
statements", implying there is something before, after and in the middle.
Also not an acronym, and short.
And while we're on naming issues...
Regarding __enter__/__exit__ versus __enter__/__leave__, I like the latter not
only because of ASM history but that the two are the same length, making
documentation cleaner in some cases.
ENTER: blah blah
LEAVE: blah blah
A minor item, but then I'm big on visual symmetry. ;-)
