there was something along those lines, but it's been a while now so
my memory isn't the greatest (I've killed a lot of brain cells since then ;-)
If your memory is right, then I would have pushed the held-context
effort to be way more general - making it an update (i.e., an
extension to) common policy; something that I don't get the
impression it ever did. That said - why hasn't it moved to being
more general in scope?
