You're not the only one. At first I thought along the same lines you did.. it 
deferred changes until you process it again. However, some seem to think it 
completely stops processing the context (eg. stop mixing) until processed 
again. And some implementations just no-op on the calls.

I think they fall in with the synchronous contexts, in that there was an idea 
behind them when designed.. but no one remembers what anymore.
