I have to quibble with the method name getVariable().  We're not getting a Variable, we're getting an Object.  More specifically we're getting an object that is deployed as a resource to the context.  This may seem trivial, but I think this name could be a major source of confusion in the future (as some of our other names have been).

So maybe it should be:

AutoContextLoader.getResource()

or alternatively:

getHelper()
getPlugin()
getValue()
getObject()
get()
retrieve()
getThingie()
...

Since what can be returned is totally generic, it's hard to come up with a meaningful name.  getResource() seems best to me, but any of the above would be better than getVariable.
