Actually, you are right, 'managed_module' isn't much if any better
than those.

Our problem is that there are two concepts we are trying to cram into
one name: what the context manager is managing, and the object that the
context manager gives you on entry to the with block.  There probably
isn't a good answer.

I suppose that one approach would be to have a module_initializer context
manager return self and then separately call a method on it it to actually
load the module inside the with body.  But adding more typing to solve
a naming issue seems...odd.
