029/**
030 * Represents an active context on an Evaluator.
031 * <p>
032 * A context consists of two configurations:
033 * <ol>
034 * <li>ContextConfiguration: Its visibility is limited to the context itself and tasks spawned from it.</li>
035 * <li>ServiceConfiguration: This is "inherited" by child context spawned.</li>
036 * </ol>
037 * <p>
038 * Contexts have identifiers. A context is instantiated on a single Evaluator. Contexts are either created on an
039 * AllocatedEvaluator (for what is called the "root Context") or by forming sub-Contexts.
040 * <p>
041 * Contexts form a stack. Only the topmost context is active. Child Contexts or Tasks can be submitted to the
042 * active Context. Contexts can be closed, in which case their parent becomes active.
043 * In the case of the root context, closing is equivalent to releasing the Evaluator. A child context "sees" all
044 * Configuration in its parent Contexts.
