I agree with Brett and Phillip that a few well-chosen context managers
would make sense in the stdlib both for convenience and for example
purposes.  Keep the list short and sweet.  Also, I'd like to see some
higher-level cm's in the mix, perhaps implementing concepts like Java's
synchronized (perhaps even being named 'with synchronization').

Thinking about the types of code I write over and over again, I think I
disagree (slightly) with James about the global state thing.  While I
agree that 'with redirected_stdio' isn't too useful in the face of
print>>, I very often have to write try/finally protections around
temporary settings of the cwd, the umask, and other global process
values.  I'd love to see cm's for those constructs in the stdlib.
