I don't think that should be added. I would consider it a dangerous programming style: if the lock merely doesn't "need" to be held (i.e. if it isn't necessary, but won't hurt), one should just keep holding the lock. If it is essential to release the lock, because the code would otherwise deadlock, the code should be dramatically revised to avoid that situation, e.g. by redefining the granularity of the lock, and moving the with statements accordingly.
