Perhaps "task context"? A "task" might be a logical thread, OS thread, or anything else that deserves a distinct set of implicit parameters.

Maybe this is skirting too loose to the dynamic scoping, but maybe ContextFrame? This does start to line up with frames of execution which I know is a bit low-level, but then again most people will never need to know about this corner of Python.
