In 1.4 Contexts[1], should the following:

> Note that whilst calls to closures and builtins set a context, 
> those to special internal functions never do.

Be something like:

> Note that whilst calls to closures always set a context,
> those to builtins only set a context under profiling
> or if they are of the foreign variety (e.g `.C` and similar),
> and those to special internal functions never do.

Based on the 'eval.c' source[2].

Best,
