I agree.  However, one of my TODOs is to add \context to the Learning
Manual, although this will probably not happen before 2.13.   It will not
precede section 3.1.1, so, yes, it should be removed from that section
to avoid violating the design principle that nothing is used unless it has
been explained earlier.

I'll do it now.
