I have occasionally thought it would be nice to do something like this (and
I could, but I haven't, so I guess I don't think it that strongly):

>>> @contextmanager
... def bind(val):
...     yield val
...
>>> with bind(2+2) as four:
...     print(four)
...
4

from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the
uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting
advocates of freedom in prisons.  Intellectual property is
to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.
