Indeed, but the constructions we talk about would allow nesting dozens 
of context managers without any problem ;
Well then, you'll ask me "what kind of a perverse would need to 
imbricate dozens of context managers ???" ; sincerely I don't know ^^

But since "flat is better than nested", even just for 2 or 3 context 
managers, I feel a construct like "with A() as a, B() as b, C() as c:" 
is anyway better than 3 nested with statements
