      Define behavior of nested pymongo.timeout call. Options:

      1. nested timeout() call acts independently:
        with pymongo.timeout(1):
            client.test.test.insert_one({})
            with pymongo.timeout(5):
                client.test.test.insert_one({}) # Will timeout using the 5 second deadline
        
      2. nested timeout() call can only shorten the deadline, not extend it.
        with pymongo.timeout(1):
            client.test.test.insert_one({})
            with pymongo.timeout(5):
                client.test.test.insert_one({}) # Will timeout using the original 1 second deadline
        

      Option 1) violates the contract of timeout() in the sense that the block of code will not raise a timeout when the original timeout has expired so option 2) makes more sense in my opinion.

      We can always add support for option 1) at a later date via a new parameter, for example:

      with pymongo.timeout(1):
          client.test.test.insert_one({})
          # Shield from outer timeouts/deadlines and use 5 sec deadline:
          with pymongo.timeout(5, shield=True):
              client.test.test.insert_one({})
