(I talked to Pike on IRC and he said he had intended to write a single 
leading dot:  .caller.foo and .global.bar).

Any prefix is a sigil that might be confusing and hard to search for.  
Although I'll admit that a leading dot is probably the best available 
solution if we decide we absolutely require a sigil.

Re. names I'd like to not use the word global if possible.  I think 
it's confusing because we also say that some entities and attributes 
can be local, and that is not an opposite to a global.

Sometimes, for the sake of explanation, I might say that ctxdata is 
global, i.e. not tied to one entity.  Arguably, I should be saying that 
it's context-wide instead, but that requires to first introduce the 
context.

This is why I was thinking more along the lines of system or platform.

OTOH, caller (for ctxdata) suggests that it's just the caller's data, 
while, to my point above, it's context-wide ctxdata :)
