This is an important point.  PEP 550 is targeting library authors,
right?  Most folks will not be interacting with the new functionality
except perhaps indirectly via context managers.  So I'm not convinced
that naming collisions with more commonly used concepts is as much a
concern, particularly because of conceptual similarity.  However, if
the functionality of the PEP would be used more commonly then the
naming would be a stronger concern.
