using - It's not just for memory management

When we designed the using statement waaaay back in the first version of C#, we decided to call it using because we thought it had other purposes outside of the usual use:

using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(”blah.txt”))
{ ... }

Today I was responding to a customer suggestion, in which he suggested language support for the ReaderWriterLock class, so it could be more like the built-in lock statement. Unfortunately, ReaderWriterLock.AcquireReader() doesn't return something that's IDisposable, but it's pretty easy to add that with a wrapper class.

I spent about 15 minutes writing a wrapper, then I had a thought, did a google search, and came across this article, which already has it done. Plus, the version in the article probably wraps the whole class, and has likely been tested.
