[issue39682] pathlib.Path objects can be used as context managers

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

As with the Accessor abstraction, the original idea was to support Path objects backed by a directory file descriptor (for use with openat() and friends).  That idea was abandoned but it looks like the context manager stayed.  It's certainly not useful currently.
