Sounds like a good plan to me - I was just pointing out that contextlib 
didn't really make sense as a long term home for the functionality.

For what it's worth, I'm +1 on the improvements to math and cmath, but 
keep in mind that I'm not an active user of either module (I use Python 
for coordination tasks rather than number crunching).

Cheers,
Nick.
