context variable
A variable which can have different values depending on its context.
This is similar to Thread-Local Storage in which each execution
thread may have a different value for a variable. However, with context
variables, there may be several contexts in one execution thread and the
main usage for context variables is to keep track of variables in
concurrent asynchronous tasks.
