The context information can be really huge (thousands of messages) so I'd
be best to pass around this information without any heavy conversation. A
generic script solution would be very inefficient in this case.

That's a good idea! Note, that we could support even YAML configurations,
if we upgrade the serde dependency to 0.7 (this is also a possible way of
contribution to the project).
