Given the refocusing of the PEP on the context variable API, with the
other aspects introduced solely in service of making context variables
work as defined, my current suggestion would be to make it a hybrid
Python/C API using the "contextvars" + "_contextvars" naming
convention.
Then all most end user applications defining context variables would
need is the single line:
from contextvars import new_context_var
_contextvars would contain the APIs that only the interpreter itself
can implement, while contextvars would provide a home for any pure
Python convenience APIs that could be shared across interpreter
implementations.
Cheers,
Nick.
