Currently the global and local context are exposed as an opaque Object which makes it a challenge for sharing across frameworks or components from different parties.

It would be great if GraphQL Java could help establish a common understanding of what the context type is as a generic container such as graphql.GraphQLContext so that different parties can agree on how to access or update it. Of course this would require awareness the context is a shared container and therefore keys need to be reasonably unique, or perhaps to use a single (unique) root key with a sub-map underneath, but this shouldn't be much of a challenge.

Given the widespread use of the existing context() and localContext(), these could be alternative methods that provide a migration path.
