Your “contextual”?\n\nYes, worker threads carrying tables of references with table size defined at compilation time.\n\ntomjaguarpaw:\n\n> I’m pointing out it’s not the library that declares the implicit configuration, it’s the caller.\n\nWould this make for a good point of abstraction though? I’d expect a given library to need several internal values be adjustable, not some interface type like `Logger`.\n\nConsider something simpler with no extra inputs whatsoever, like adjustable numeric precision or `getArgs`.",
