//! Objects of the `Context` class represent Hexchat contexts, which are
//! associated with channels the user is currently in. These are usually
//! associated with an open window/tab in their client GUI. The `Context`
//! objects provide a convenient set of commands that mirror those in the
//! main `Hexchat` class, but when executed they perform their operation in
//! the window/tab/channel that the `Context` is bound to. The network and
//! server strings are used internally to acquire context pointers, which
//! are then used to switch context for a command operation and switch back
//! to the previously active context. On each command a check is performed to
//! ensure the `Context` is still valid. If that fails a `AcquisitionFailed`
//! error is returned with the network/channel strings as data.

/// can be acquired and used. This library's `Context` objects represent the
/// Hexchat contexts and can be used to interact with the specific
/// channels/windows/tabs that he user has open. For instance if your plugin
/// needs to output only to specific channels, rather than the default window
/// (which is the one currently open) - it can acquire the appropriate context
/// using `Context::find("some-network", "some-channel")`, and use the object
/// returned to invoke a command, `context.command("SAY hello!")`, or print,
