Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

As with the Accessor abstraction, the original idea was to support Path objects 
backed by a directory file descriptor (for use with openat() and friends).  
That idea was abandoned but it looks like the context manager stayed.  It's 
certainly not useful currently.
