 public class ContextUser {

   private static final ContextKey<MyState> KEY = ContextKey.named("MyState");

   public Context startWork() {
     return Context.withValues(KEY, new MyState());
   }

   public void continueWork(Context context) {
     MyState state = context.get(KEY);
     // Keys are compared by reference only.
     assert state != Context.current().get(ContextKey.named("MyState"));
     ...
   }
 }
