I believe I can answer this part: the guarantee is that

- the context variable will not be changed while the yield is in effect -- or,
   said another way, while the generator is suspended;

- the context variable will not be changed by subgenerators

- the context variable /may/ be changed by normal functions/class methods
   (since calling them would be part of the iteration)
