I should have a PEP (and implementation) ready for alpha 2 to address
the current discrepancy between contextlib.nested and actual nested with
statements:
http://bugs.python.org/issue5251

If you do add a reference to that bug report to the release PEP, mark
fixing it as a maybe though - with the associated PEP not even written
yet, I obviously still have some work to do to get the semantic change
approved by Guido and the rest of python-dev.
