rename the "context string" to the "purpose string"purpose_string
Apart from being pretty ambiguous in general, the term "context string"
has the specific problem that it isn't clear whether it should be
describing the input or the output. In fact, it's quite important that
it describes the output, because the whole point is to domain-separate
different outputs that derive from the *same* input. To make that
clearer, rename the "context string" to the "purpose string" in
documentation.
