Related: The confusion of 'with' vs __del__ vs del wrt open files etc. Using 'with' does not guarantee the object's destruction, but the destruction of the object and the exiting of the with block do have the same effect, which is confusing. Personally, I'd prefer a guarantee that this name expires at this point, plus a guarantee that - if there are no other references - the object will be cleaned up immediately; it's generally true in CPython, and if that could actually be made a language feature, there'd be no need for 'with' and no issues with confusing people.
