I've never seen any good motivation mentioned on the listm just
Han-Wen's "don't do that".

Some month ago, someone posted an example that behaved differently when
using \partial and when setting measurePosition, perhaps because
implicitly created contexts are not created exactly the same way when
you use \partial and when you set the property, but in that example the
behaviour was better when using \partial, so I couldn't see that it
supported the claim in the NR.
