Other posts have already mentioned that specific macros of this form exist in several Lisps. I've seen more than one macro-writing guide that talks about the with-something macro pattern for managing resources, and I've seen it applied in libraries that provide macros like with-database and with-query-results. CL and Clojure could easily support a generic with macro requiring that there be an open and close method for the resource in question.
