Cameron, I'm not really sure I got your point. I've used the "file not found" exception as an example for a behavior typical on context managers. This could be a failure to connect to DB, or threads. It also applies to any kind of possible exception, whether cased by the context manager itself or the lines inside it. Long story short, this syntax change is as useful as context managers are
