/**
 * Support for an abstract context, modelled loosely after ThreadLocal
 * but using a user-provided context instead of the current thread.
 *
 * <p>Within the compiler, a single Context is used for each
 * invocation of the compiler.  The context is then used to ensure a
 * single copy of each compiler phase exists per compiler invocation.
 *
 * <p>The context can be used to assist in extending the compiler by
 * extending its components.  To do that, the extended component must
 * be registered before the base component.  We break initialization
 * cycles by (1) registering a factory for the component rather than
 * the component itself, and (2) a convention for a pattern of usage
 * in which each base component registers itself by calling an
 * instance method that is overridden in extended components.  A base
 * phase supporting extension would look something like this:
 *
 * <p>
{@code
 * public class Phase {
 *     protected static final Context.Key<Phase> phaseKey =
 *         new Context.Key<Phase>();
 *
 *     public static Phase instance(Context context) {
 *         Phase instance = context.get(phaseKey);
 *         if (instance == null)
 *             // the phase has not been overridden
 *             instance = new Phase(context);
 *         return instance;
 *     }
 *
 *     protected Phase(Context context) {
 *         context.put(phaseKey, this);
 *         // other intitialization follows...
 *     }
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>In the compiler, we simply use Phase.instance(context) to get
 * the reference to the phase.  But in extensions of the compiler, we
 * must register extensions of the phases to replace the base phase,
 * and this must be done before any reference to the phase is accessed
 * using Phase.instance().  An extended phase might be declared thus:
 *
 * <p>
{@code
 * public class NewPhase extends Phase {
 *     protected NewPhase(Context context) {
 *         super(context);
 *     }
 *     public static void preRegister(final Context context) {
 *         context.put(phaseKey, new Context.Factory<Phase>() {
 *             public Phase make() {
 *                 return new NewPhase(context);
 *             }
 *         });
 *     }
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>And is registered early in the extended compiler like this
 *
 * <p>
 *     NewPhase.preRegister(context);
 * </pre>
 *
 *  <p>This is NOT part of any supported API.
 *  If you write code that depends on this, you do so at your own risk.
 *  This code and its internal interfaces are subject to change or
 *  deletion without notice.</b>
