We wont change this now (i mean replacing context by context.copy()), as
we are designing a new high level api that will remove the cr, uid, ids
context from function arguments. we will add an helper to update the
context, something will probably look like:

self.models.crm_stage(context_update={'lang':'fr'}).name = "blabla"

to update the french translation of all the crm_stages.

Bug description:
  Often in the code base we have:
  def foo(...., context={},....):
      ....
  As explained in comment #1, this should be changed to
  def foo(...., context=None,....):
      # you should add this test only if the context is actually used
      if context is None:
          context={}
      ....

  (This bug originally proposed the other way round hence the "nope" in
  comment #1.)

  (xmo) Complements of information:

  * The test should be `context is None` rather than `not context`: the caller 
could provide an empty dict argument {} and expect to have data in it after the 
call, if a test is done using `not context` an empty dict will match and the 
function will be creating a brand new context.
  * The test should *only ever* performed when the current function fetches 
data from the context. If you don't do anything with the context but forward it 
to other functions and methods (e.g. read() or create()), no need to test for 
anything.
