Commit summary for MediaWiki.r96280:

Add a new RequestContext::newExtraneousContext() to create a context filled 
with data not derived from the current session. Also modify setLang to accept a 
language code.

Dantman's comment:

"unnecessary" may not fit. But "irrelevant" as in "not relevant to the main 
request context" does fit. "external" has a bit of ambiguity to it as well. eg: 
RequestContext::newExternalContext() sounds kind of like it creates context for 
a request to something external to the entire current wiki. It's almost as bad 
as newForeignContext would be.

newOutlyingContext? newIsolatedContext?

This kind of sounds like one of those scenarios where nothing ever seams right.
