Well, I value beauty over uniformity. I am not especially in favor of
using find_in_context and with_context and such, as it is just more
for my eyeballs to stumble over.

I think we may be wandering away from the realm of "simple" into the
realm of "merely different."

Is it really *that* bad to do additional tweaking with a separate method
call?
