As opposed to:
with lock(my_lock):
# protected code
which wouldn't.
I prefer the second, but I'm not entirely sure why. I think,
maybe, it's because the parentheses in the second one tell me
we are actually doing something, whereas the first one looks
like a variable access which is the one thing that can't
actually have side effects.
It's probably just that I've been playing with C# too much
recently (where the 'using' statement requires you to create
an object). :-(
