ah. ok. So a component author declares "I need a T context" and the container says "don't have one, so I'm not running

you". Cool.

Exactly. All it does is provide a method for component authors to
declare their requirements (so that a container *may* satisfy them
if it can and wants to) in a uniform way.


Which in effect discourages this type of use if the component
author values component reuse.  Just from a practicality standpoint.

And leads us to mark this usage pattern as "deprecated" and suggest a portable design... which we still have to agree on though.
