Agreed we should be careful here.

That said, auto-associating with an interface that extends IContext 
sounds like a reasonable approach. It should of course fail in the face 
of ambiguity (a class *and* a model being around).

This would introduce auto-association with interfaces. I think that's a 
reasonably safe behavior if we require that IContext is extended, and is 
more or less analogous to what happens with classes as far as I can see.
