That's not related to the current issue. What I refered to
at that time was that you can not only unset context property
settings using \unset but also clear all layout object properties
of some layout object, since layout object properties internally
are stored as a context property with the object name as the
property name and a sort of list as the value, which in turn
contains all the object properties.
