/**
* <p>
* A context is an answer to the question "when". Other services can listen for
* the activation and deactivation of contexts, and change their own state in
* response to these changes. For example, Eclipse's key binding service listens
* to context activation and deactivation to determine which key bindings should
* be active.
* </p>
* <p>
* An instance of this interface can be obtained from an instance of
* <code>ContextManager</code> for any identifier, whether or not an context
* with that identifier is defined in the extension registry.
* </p>
* <p>
* The handle-based nature of this API allows it to work well with runtime
* plugin activation and deactivation. If a context is defined, that means that
* its corresponding plug-in is active. If the plug-in is then deactivated, the
* context will still exist but it will be undefined. An attempts to use an
* undefined context will result in a <code>NotDefinedException</code> being
* thrown.
* </p>
* <p>
* This class is not intended to be extended by clients.
