I find this a very good idea. I don't feel very good with inventing
arbitrary independent context properties. Having a single object and
consistent interface would make it much more consistent to add more
configuration options to the beaming.

That wouldn't bother my "plans" at all, it's just that I don't know out
of my hat where to define (and initialize) such an alist and how to
access its value from within the C++ beaming code. So any hints welcome ...
