Can't new contexts be defined by the user?  I'll admit that I
don't think they can create new properties...

I was basically just thinking of things like ancient notation, or
the beautiful "packages" / "files" / "modules" / "whatever we
shoudl call them" that Reinhold and Nicholas put together, like
stuff for title pages or orchestralily.  As a naive ex-user, I'd
call those "modules", but that might be misusing a technical term.
