A *context variable* is an object representing a value in the execution context. A new context variable is created by calling the ``new_context_var()`` function. A context variable object has two methods:
* ``lookup()``: returns the value of the variable in the current execution context;
* ``set()``: sets the value of the variable in the current execution context.
Why "lookup" and not "get" ? Many APIs use "get" and it's functionality is well understood.
ContextVar.set(value) method writes the `value` to the *topmost LC*. ContextVar.lookup() method *traverses the stack* until it finds the LC that has a value. "get()" does not reflect this subtle semantics difference. Yury
