I sent this PR to the lazy\_loader repo, that has the potential to greatly simplify the syntax, but it could benefit from some feedback before it is put into the package: [Add context manager functionality using hooks by vnmabus · Pull Request #121 · scientific-python/lazy-loader · GitHub](https://github.com/scientific-python/lazy-loader/pull/121). I see here many people interested in this topic, so it would be good if you could add your feedback to the PR, to detect potential problems early on.
