I think I was referring to execution context isolation code we already have. I've just looked at the code now and see I was thinking about ExecutionContextInitializer. It's probably different though. I haven't read the Display module code but it's probably already using ExecutionContextManager to clone the execution context when displaying in isolation (btw shouldn't that be always the case since otherwise it's called an include?).
