While I think you may just have encountered one of the reasons we don't have 
AGI APIs, quite a few of the "selections" and "references" are AGI-complete one 
way or another, for example in a face-to-face conversation the utterance 
"that's not it" has to be evaluated in several (all?) contexts before the 
"correct" interpretation is recovered: is it about what I am doing now, is it 
about what you are doing, is it about the 2-3 topics we've been discussing. You 
could perhaps "pretend" that starting this conversation created a top-level 
context, but I do not see how you can prevent an explosion of nested contexts. 
One way out is to accept there is only one gigantic context called "me", 
another would be to limit the contexts to something like sales, billing, tech, 
but then there goes the G out of the AI.

Well anyway, one API is better than no API :)
