As I understand the key APIs and constraints of the proposal better, I'm leaning towards FooContext (LC) and FooContextStack (EC), for some value of Foo that I haven't determined yet. Perhaps the latter can be shortened to just ContextStack (since the Foo part can probably be guessed from context. :-)

I guess I'll put in another vote for DynamicContext and DynamicContextStack. Though my earlier suggestion of these [1] sank like a stone, either because no-one saw it or because everyone hated it :-).

We could do worse than just plain Context and ContextStack, for that matter.
