  //    TAO's minimal implementation of the Context interface.  Since
  //    Contexts are inherently un-typesafe, there use is deprecated
  //    and the feature may eventaully disappear from CORBA. It is
  //    implemented only to make the arg list of
  //    CORBA_Object::_create_request() compliant. The only (pointer)
  //    value that should be passed is 0.
