There are a few open questions left, namely the terminology and design of ContextKey API. On the former topic, I'm quite happy with the latest version: Execution Context, Logical Context, and Context Key.

I don't really like it. "Logical Context" is vague (there are lots of things called "context" in other libraries, so a bit of specificity would help avoid confusion), and it's not clear what is "logical" about it anyway. "Local Context" actually seemed better to me (as it reminded of threading.local() or the general notion of thread-local storage).

Antoine.
