My preference is to remove the method entirely and then implement the 
approach in PEP 343 by adding a module level "localcontext()" function 
in Py2.6.

If you keep the method, then at least:
* fix the docstring (and make it doctestable)
* rename the method to .localcontext()
* move the .copy() step to inside the contextmanager instead of its caller
* update the WhatsNew example to match
* add a unittest
