To me, your trick seems to address a different problem. You want context variables to be transparent and behave themselves as the data that they hold (in C++ terms: you want reference semantics instead of pointer semantics). This trick might be necessary at some times (like your example of replacing sys.stdout with a context var), but I consider it dangerous for general usage.
