Review Comment:
   Shouldn't this still be an InferableFunction? Or is the goal to accept 
either InferableFunction or Contextful? (If the latter, is this too painful to 
encode in the type system?)

Review Comment:
   Do I understand correctly that doing this branch every time is cheaper than 
the indirection of an "empty" Contextful? 
   
   Would it make sense to create a subclass based on the Fn type rather than 
branch here (and below).
