Would it make anyone feel better to realize that when the actual APR
library functions use pools, they pass them around not as "pools", but
refers to them instead as "contexts" ? In other words, just because
the primary motivation for the existence of pools is simplified memory
management, they were apparently built specifically to represent
nestable code contexts.
