Gilles commented on MATH-542:
-----------------------------

So, IIUC, there would be two kinds of storage:
* one for localizable messages
* one for any kind of values represented by a (key, value) pair where the value 
can have any type (thus "Object")

And only the first kind will contribute to the compound message.
Is that so?

I would then add those methods:
{code}
public void setContext(String key, Object value);
public Object getContext(String key);
public Set<String> getContextKeys();
{code}
[Don't you think that a key of type "Object" is unnecessarily general? I also 
wonder how upper layers will even make sense of a given key if they don't know 
what type it is.]
