A *context variable* is an object representing a value in the

the ``new_context_var()`` function. A context variable object has
two methods:
* ``lookup()``: returns the value of the variable in the current
execution context;
* ``set()``: sets the value of the variable in the current
execution context.
Why "lookup" and not "get" ? Many APIs use "get" and it's
functionality is well understood.
Why not the same interface as thread-local storage? This has been the
question which bothered me from the beginning of PEP550. I don't
understand what inventing a new way of access buys us here.
Python features regular attribute access for years. It's even simpler
than method-based access.
