I agree with this approach because it preserves backward
compatibility, while still providing us with all the functionality we
need. We will also be able to accept key value arguments in the future
if further feature requests come in which require it.

Okay, I agree that contexts should not be considered by labs when we
use rebase - but of course we will still store the contexts (if they
are submitted) alongside the key value args. In the future there may
be an application for this.

Zhoumin, does this sound acceptable, or do you think there are any
flaws? If it works, we will implement the updates and try to upstream
this week. Thanks!
