Hi Tim,

Thanks for your thoughts=2E I will definitely go over your other email in =
detail when I have some more time and energy, and update some of my example=
s=2E=20

Regarding this point, I think it's a really interesting observation, and I=
 wonder if we should be looking for different keywords that read more clear=
ly=2E For instance:=20

using(new SomeManager() for $someResource)

using($someResource from new SomeManager())

context(new SomeManager() giving $someResource)

Regards,
