That's what I changed @contextmanager to do, because it's the only place 
where you have a good reason to re-raise (i.e., the generator re-raises in 
order to request propagation).

Thus, this inspection code should only have to appear in one place: 
@contextmanager, rather than it having to be in every other context that 
needs to tell the difference.

Done.

By the way, I just got approval earlier this week to work on various Python 
2.5 tasks as a "20% project" at OSAF, so today's my day this week to try to 
burn through as many outstanding Python 2.5 issues as possible.  Hence all 
my activity on PEPs 342 and 343.  My current rough plans for wsgiref, 
setuptools and the rest can be found at:
