May I suggest that you use a different name than "context" for this ?!
The term "context" is way to broad for the application scopes that you have in mind here (like e.g. managing a resource in a multi-threaded application).
It's actually the broadness of the term 'context' which is appealing - the examples in the draft documentation on SF are:
- resource management (synchronisation locks, generic 'closing')
- HTML tag matching
- Decimal arithmetic context
Any earlier version used 'suite managers' (partly to avoid confusing the hell out of anyone ever exposed to Ruby's concept of blocks), but the 'context management' term seems to more clearly describe what the protocol is for.
Cheers, Nick.
