4/// This trait is used where context is required to correctly display a value.
5///
6/// Typically, this is due to needing to know the current network to display addresses.
7/// Other forms of Context are also possible. See `ComponentAddress`
8/// or `TransactionReceipt` in the `radix-engine` crate for example implementations.
9///
10/// The `Context` used should typically just be a wrapper type around references, and so
11/// be a small, cheap, ephemeral value on the stack (if it's not just optimized away entirely).
12/// It is therefore recommended that the `Context` implement `Copy`,
13/// to make it very easy to pass around and re-use.
