I was thinking about wrapper functions around i-c-w. Not that I really
expect that there will be such things anytime...

The old `problem' that most of the context is set up relatively
late... maybe I'll try again to write a utility function that sets up
$curcontext as far as it can sometime.

Urgh. Hadn't thought about that. Maybe a `styles.yo' (comparable to
options.yo and params.yo), but where to place it? Next to the options
and parameters would be logically wrong because zstyle is defined by a
module. Hm.
