On the other hand, contexts are more CORBA-specific than most things
you'd find in an IDL file, and won't necessarily work well if Bonobo
becomes more loosely coupled to CORBA. (As with the Bonbobo/UNO work
that Michael has been discussing.)

So, avoiding them in the interfaces you write is probably not a bad
idea.
