The html file:

boost.context-0.1.0/libs/context/doc/html/context/context_management/context/jump_to.html

contains:

-{--cut here--

If *this  refers to a context, the function saves the state of *this
and executes the context of other.

-}--cut here--

What's the saved state used for? I'm guessing that maybe it's used
to resume execution of the original context after the other context
finishes executing.  Is that right?
