I tend to associate leave with leaving, and leaving with arriving.

I didn't even think the __enter__ / __exit__ names were an issue.  <shrug>

Then again there's alway  __premanage__ and __postmanage__.  That fits 
Nicks requirement for visual pairing as they both start with 'p'. And 
then calling it a manager object fits very nicely too.

Hmmm,  wonder if you could implement programs based on gant charts using 
nested manager objects?  Would the nested managers be mid-level managers?

This might have some marketing appeal to large corporations. ;-)
