Because the Context doesn't actually behave like a Map.  For example, 
you can't store a null value for a key. 

However, we wanted to make sure that the Context was a simple and 
flexible mechanism, so it should be trivial for you to create utility wrappers 
that implement the Context interface that do what you want, say take a 
Properties or Map as an arg to the CTOR.

This might be a nice contribution :)

I am going to mark this as 'wontfix'.  No rudeness is intended - there just 
aren't any other choices.  Feel free to bring this up for discussion on user 
or dev lists.
