Bearing in mind compatibility with existing simpletrace analysis
scripts, how about the following default method implementations?

  def __enter__(self):
      self.begin()

  def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
      if exc_type is None:
          self.end()
      return False

Now simpletrace.py can switch to using the context manager and new
scripts can implement __enter__()/__exit__(), while old scripts continue
to work.

Please don't change the function signature since this is a public method
and we should avoid breaking existing callers when possible.

Instead of:

  with analyzer_class() as analyzer:

we can use:

  with analyzer:
      ...
