It is definitely technologically possible.  However, the C 
implementation will be quite complex, and will require a lot of time to 
review and later maintain.  My question would be how critical is the 
performance of @contextmanager?  I'd say that unless it's used in a 
tight loop it can't affect the performance too much.
