That's one of those bugs that even if a solution gets 
implemented, it won't get accepted and pulled in. Soweone up top 
needs to figure out how they want it to be implemented in an 
acceptable manor first. From the looks of the issue comments, and 
how long the issue has been open. Seems like there's no solution 
that's deemed acceptable enough by said individuals to be 
implemented.

IMHO, it would be _huge_ if this issue could be fixed. The whole issue with
"multiple context pointers" can get really annoying, and it can't always be
reasonably worked around. However, I don't recall anyone ever coming up with
even a theoretical solution for the problem. So, I have no idea what it's
going to take to fix it, and I don't have high hopes that it will be. But
maybe we'll get lucky, and someone will get an epiphany or divine
inspiration or whatnot, and we'll finally get a fix. Hope springs eternal...

 However, I don't recall anyone ever coming up with even a 
 theoretical solution for the problem.

Access to multiple contexts through one context pointer is 
already implemented and works:

Yep, I've run into that.

The workarounds suck, and the worst part is that the error is leaking 
implementation details to the user that have a very unsatisfactory 
explanation. I get that the reason is solid, but it doesn't look that 
way when you look at all the other stuff the compiler can handle.

It reminds me of Swift errors that an expression is too complicated for 
it to figure out.
