    Ah, you're right.
    
    So if we want to avoid needing magic methods in the main RDD/DataFrame 
classes and avoid needing a separate utility method like `cache()`, I think one 
option available to us is to have separate `PersistedRDD` and 
`PersistedDataFrame` classes that simply wrap the base RDD and DataFrames 
classes and add the appropriate magic methods.
    
    `.persist()` and `.cache()` would then return instances of these classes, 
which should satisfy the `type(x).__enter__(x)` behavior while still preserving 
backwards compatibility and method chaining.
    
    What do you think of that?
