This whole patchset was already superseded by a newer version before 
Daniel merged it. The newer version doesn't have Chris's R-B on this 
(context/engine) patch, only on two others that are still as they were
when he reviewed them.

Please go and look instead at [v5, 11 patches] posted 2016-02-05.

.Dave.
