Well, that would still work with my proposal.
Now consider:
def some_library_function(byteslike):
with memoryview(byteslike) as m2:
# do something with m2
with memoryview(some_object) as m1:
some_library_function(m1)
...
print(m1[0])
That m1 becomes unusable after m2 is released in the library function is
completely counter-intuitive, and will make memoryviews a pain to use in
real life.
