Oooh, excellent. And it looks trivial to implement.
After a quick glance over the PEP I doubt that the resources will be
actively deallocated rather than just be out of scope and left for the
gc to pick up though. Looks like a way to explicitely free the wrapped
data is still needed if the patch mentioned by Johan is not deemed
sufficient.
