This has some overlap with ticket #5333, which describes a request for assertContext; the ticket discussion describes why that idea isn't necessarily what we want, but the broader idea is something worth addressing. It is possible to use contexts in templates, but it certainly isn't easy. Finding the best way to wrap an API around contexts to make them easily testable is definitely worth doing.
