Yes, nothing much is changed in terms of the user API.

The only real change is if you want to access the simulation parameters 
from outside the simulation (say after the sim has run, getting the 
value from now() ). Then it is necessary to renter the context.

The simulation instance is used as the context id, so it's something like:

sim.run(200)
with _simulate.simulation_context(sim):
     print now()

will print out the time corresponding to the simulation instance `sim`.

In a running sim, this is not necessary as the context is set up by the 
simulator (so you can merrily place now() inside instances without 
worrying, as in the example).

Cheers,
