As someone who's trying to make use of thse interfaces, my first guess is I'd
prefer creating a CallContext, but it's not something I feel strongly about
either way at all. Provided the interface is available from C, unlikely to
change rapidly in the near future, and documented adequately for me to figure
out what I'm doing, I'm happy. Of those three criteria, both methods seem to
meet the first. The second is still up in the air, and as to the third I admit
not yet having looked closely enough to determine one way or the other.
