And, given that a context= entry is not used for a "peer", only for a
"user",
it also goes to say that if you use a "friend", context is still only used
for the *inbound* portion of it.  So I just don't really see why you so
strongly recommend against "friend" entries as opposed to having both a
"user" and a "peer" entry that are otherwise the same...
