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). I have to admit that I didn't even pick up on that name change. I could go either way.

I do appreciate dropping ContextItem, though, because "CI" makes me think of continuous integration. And the overall shape of the API for public consumption LGTM.
