Cleaning up resources now needs something called a "ContextStack" and an "enter_context" method call. There's a bit too much terminology, and it looks like a poor man's equivalent of Go's "defer" statement: http://blog.golang.org/2010/08/defer-panic-and-recover.html I like unittest's addCleanup mechanism better.
