Unfortunately thread-unsafe context makes sharing of it in tests executed in 
parallel a nightmare.
I can fix our Corpus tests and hope the race condition won't raise also 
somewhere else later.
However how to explain this limitation to users?

I suggest to make it always thread-safe (as the context is primary expected to 
be shared in multi-threaded environment) and users may make it faster in 
specific cases by providing non-synchronized map.
