:Description: Context provides the ability to switch between
   different user-level context and is intended to be the basis for a
   higher abstraction like coroutine and fiber.

   A user-level context represents the current execution state, including
   all registers and CPU flags, the instruction pointer, the stack
   pointer. boost::context encapsulates such a user-level context and is
   able to store/restore its associated user-level context. This allows
   multiple execution paths running on a single thread using a sort of
   cooperative scheduling (in contrast a thread is preemptively
   scheduled) - the running boost::context decides explicitly when its
   yields to allow another boost::context to run (user-level context
   switching). A context can only run on a single thread at any point in
   time but may be migrated between thread.
