And surely you exaggerate. How about this then:
The with-statement is similar to the for-loop. Until you've learned about the differences in detail, the only time you should write a with-statement is when the documentation for the function you are calling says you should.
I think perhaps I'm not expressing myself very well. What I'm after is a high-level explanation that actually tells people something useful, and *doesn't* cop out by just saying "you're not experienced enough to understand this yet".
this makes sense to me, also because a new control statement
will not be usually as hidden as metaclasses and some other possibly
obscure corners can be. OTOH I have the impression that the new toy is too shiny to have a lucid discussion whether it could have sharp edges or produce dizziness for the unexperienced.
