I think you may have missed the key distinction between a "Context
Manager" (as designed by Python) and a "Disposable" (as used in C# and
others): the Context Manager is not the resource itself, it exists only
to meet the protocol/interface.
In this code:
with ( $dbConnection->transaction() as $handle ) {
$handle->execute('I am in the transaction');
}
$handle is *not* the value returned by $dbConnection->transaction(),
it's the value returned
by $dbConnection->transaction()->enterContext().
For reference: This topic was/is also discussed in your sibling thread
starting at https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/129464. I also
stumbled upon this being completely unexpected from just looking at the
code. If multiple participants on this list with a above-average
knowledge of PHP (or even engine knowledge) find this unclear, I am
really concerned about the clarity for “regular PHP developers”.
