ENH: backport cbook._setattr_cm

anntzer · tacaswell · commit 42bd99abbcf9 · 2018-08-04T20:11:32.000-04:00
This context manager was added to master in 690b213 via #10314. We do not want to backport that entire commit, however the backport of #11407 requires this context manger. It is private and self contained to low-risk to backport
