Ah, you're right.
So if we want to avoid needing magic methods in the main RDD/DataFrame
classes and avoid needing a separate utility method like `cache()`, I think one
option available to us is to have separate `PersistedRDD` and
`PersistedDataFrame` classes that simply wrap the base RDD and DataFrames
classes and add the appropriate magic methods.
`.persist()` and `.cache()` would then return instances of these classes,
which should satisfy the `type(x).__enter__(x)` behavior while still preserving
backwards compatibility and method chaining.
What do you think of that?
