I thought this new C# feature would be a good thing to add to Python:
https://vcsjones.com/2019/01/30/csharp-8-using-declarations/
I find the nesting required by context managers to be at odds with the
broad intent.
The code indentation in python should reflect the program logic and
flow as much as possible, but for thing, the context manager generally
doesn't apply to most of the code it forces to be indented, but only
to a few lines using the resource; for another, even for those lines,
the context manager is usually not reflective of the flow anyway
(unlike the classic control statements, such as for/next, if/else, and
while).
for example:
with xxxxxx.open() as logfile:
do this
do that
logfile.write()
do this
do that
logfile.write()
This becomes more ugly if multiple withs get nested.
