Crazy idea.
Guido van Rossum mentioned after working on PEP 3156 that context
managers cannot use
yield from statement inside __enter__ and __exit__ magic methods.
Explicit call for entering and leaving context (for locking for
example) is not convenient.
What do you think about
with from f():
do_our_work()
``with from ...` construction calls __enter_from__ generator and
iterates via ``yield from`` for that.
Returned value is our context manager.
The same for __exit_from__ — do``yield from`` for that and stop on
StopIteration or exception.
