I like this, although I think it can be made even more general, see my 
other reply on this thread. Basically, I'd like to see functions, 
variables, and tools all being things in the context, and the lazy 
load-on-demand can be used to fault in global tools or functions.

I think a convenience method for
   put(String name, Function f)

would help here.
