This should be doable just fine. Intentionally there is a layer in place to implement different such "context" setups[1]. The code still needs more cleanup and simplification, so please don't give up too early ;) From a design perspective, this surely fits into the original goals. So yes, please try to go forward in this direction, we very much appreciate that.
