Thanks for the quick reply! What I'm trying to do is put some things into the context so that they're available in downstream calls, perhaps in methods with pointer receivers to the function struct (MyFunc) but also perhaps in methods that are further downstream that don't have access to MyFunc. If I'm understanding correctly, your proposal would work for the former but not the latter.
An example would be to put a configured Logger into the context via a WithLogger method (logging package - knative.dev/pkg/logging - pkg.go.dev <https://pkg.go.dev/knative.dev/pkg/logging#WithLogger>) and then pull it out downstream via FromContext (logging package - knative.dev/pkg/logging - pkg.go.dev <https://pkg.go.dev/knative.dev/pkg/logging#FromContext>).
