Hopefully there is no misunderstanding: What David is going to achieve
has all my support!  Far better than previous, no question.  I just
want to see even further improvements to get more orthogonality, and
it is a pity that I'm trampling on David's nerves because many of my
questions are naive.

At least I know now that at the price of having Contexts start with an
uppercase it would be possible to get what I suggest.  But our
benevolent syntax implementation dictator says no :-)
