    defer – lacking real world uses cases that current is broken

    Ok the background this an observation but with no known use cases. Given that i think we could rightly defer. However the observation is that your context verifier check windows may well be tied to a context and even though there's a way to have many verifiers in some cases (execution and complete) of the same kind – there's no built in way to say: "When I'm in X context, do this check – but when I'm in Y context, do this check." One could perhaps cobble up a solution by naming the verifiers and that has some meaning only to you – "ExecutionContextX" and "ExecutionContextY". The other way that comes to mind is to provide a ref to the context in the verifier, perhaps just a local ref – and put an optional name attribute in the context that can be ref'd – allowing for the association...

    But that's all just a lot of speculation really & so defer seems best to me unless someone can cough up a real world example that does not work with current at all.
