You can use `with` in classes -- with any context manager.
However, you would usually not use `with` with a file you have opened
in `__init__`.
If a class defines `__enter__` and `__exit__` (i.e.
the "cntext manager protocol"), then its instances
can be used with the `with` statement.
The important use case for a context manager is the
situation:
set up a context (--> method `__enter__`)
perform some operations in this context (--> body of `with` statement)
tear down the context (--> method `__exit__`).
If you do not have this case (e.g. usually if you open the file
in a class's `__init__`), you do not use a context manager.
