Migrating a (variant of a) naming subthread from python-ideas over to here, does the following sound plausible to anyone else?:

ContextLocal - read/write access API (via get()/set() methods) ContextLocalNamespace - active mapping that CL.get()/set() manipulates ExecutionContext - current stack of context local namespaces

Overall it makes sense. The following derivative might be more clear:

ContextLocal
ContextLocals
ChainedContextLocals (or some variation explicitly calling out the chaining)

Alternatively, similar to other suggestions:

ContextVar
ContextVars
ChainedContextVars

I also think "state" helps disambiguate "context":

ContextVar
ContextState
ChainedContextState

or:

ContextVar
ContextVars
ContextState (perhaps a little too ambiguous without the explicit "chained")
