I don't understand the question. When you do that "for convenience"
assignment, what you're doing is creating a local variable named
"context" which refers to the same thing that bpy.context does (or did
at the time of the assignment, but presumably you only do this when
bpy.context won't get reassigned). It has no effect on any other name.
There's no magic happening here - it's just assignment to the name
context, like anything else.

What are you expecting to happen here?
