This is relating to a discussion @tseaver and I just had about enabling GET in batches.
Something like
with storage.Batch():
bucket = storage.get_bucket('foo')
print bucket.cors
blob = storage.Blob('bar', bucket=bucket, eager=True) # See #761 about eager
is not possible because the actual GET which retrieves the bucket happens on the __exit__ of the batch.
We could allow _PropertyMixin objects to act as a future by setting a property (e.g. bucket._is_future = True) and then making getters and setters fail when _is_future == True.
