I've fixed it now.  I had fixed it in the last version but it ended up
squashed into the wrong patch. :-(

Hrm... I guess there's no particularly good reason.  I think I did it
this way because it seemed like a closer match to the code we had
before.  Also, we need to do it this way if we want GET_CONTEXT_PARAM
with CONTEXT_PARAM_VM to work on a proto-context without finalizing
it.  However, in the end, I'm always finalizing contexts on
GET_CONTEXT_PARAM so that's a non-reason.  I'll see what it looks like
to move it.

Yeah, it's pretty horrible.  It's a copy+paste of what was there
before but that was terrible too.

Yeah, I think this would make things clearer.  Before I go off and do
that, it looks to me like the param still exists.  Maybe we just
ignore it?  Should I delete the whole param?  Just trying to confirm
before I go off and type the wrong code.
