Sounds like you would have to replace every reference to the global context 
with a function call that returns the context used to create the instance in 
question. And you'd have to plugin some syntax to the connect call to say "use 
a new context" or "use this specific" context.

Sounds way ugly to me.

Since I opened Pandora's box on this one, let me do the leg-work on determining 
how much work this might entail.
