Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

This is a simple change that would allow:

         with QueueListener(queue, handler1) as listener:
             # the listener has started
             ...
         # the listener has stopped

It's a welcomed alternative to needing to call start/stop manually.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse
