By his reasoning it simply shouldn't exist. Instead you would access the
information only like this:

with open("myfile.dat") as f:
  data = f.read()

Which is my preferred way to work with resources requiring cleanup in
python anyways, as it ensures I have the least chance of messing things up,
and that all of my resources are disposed of properly during the unwind.
It's a hell of a lot cleaner than remembering to call the appropriate
cleanup functions at every callsite, and the resultant values can never be
in a bad state ( at least due to programmer function-ordering fault,
underlying file i/o errors and things can still cause errors, but not due
to API mis-usage ).

Python 3's multiple-with-statement-target syntax was backported to 2.7 as
well, flattening the deep nests of with statements otherwise needed to
implement this pattern
