I have always preferred the "has-a" approach over the "is-a" approach.
It makes things easier to refactor down the road.

Hi,
I just wonder why ContextMap inherits from ConcurrentHashMap. This seems like
an unnecessary restriction. The context interface makes explicit, that
implementations do not have to be thread safe. Beside that we loose all thread
safety a ConcurrentHashMap provides with our not-so-thread-safe implementations
in ContextMap and ContextBase. I'd suggest to switch from an inheritance based
approach to a delegation based approach. That leaves users with the liberty to
choose what ever underlying Map implementation they like for their context.
WDYT?
