Well, I'd say that an OBJECT! is a wrapper around a CONTEXT! (which is not exposed at the language level). So the relationship between OBJECT! and CONTEXT! is rather tight; you can view a OBJECT just as a "named context" if you want. But I think the reason for calling that function 'CONTEXT is different. What is the simplest way to make a context?
