From #420

It is not clear to me why we choose to not have all the functions interact explicitly with a "CorrelationContext" object and we want this path of interacting explicitly with Context. In my opinion this case is more natural for languages that explicitly pass Context around (like Go) but not that natural for Python where for example the ContextVar library does not work very well with this API.

This is a very important distinction that we want to make so languages keep a certain uniformity, and I do agree this the statement above, so we must add a note or a section that fully clarifies this one.
