[Following with my  series of sensationalist subjects]

In the partners mailing list, I've read that Fabien mentions the new release 
of OpenERP as 5.2 or 6.0. If that was to be called 6.0 I think more things 
should be fixed so let me make a proposal which will most probably be rejected 
;-)

The proposal is to change the usual structure:

def function(self, cr, uid, .... context=None):

with

def function(self, session, ...):

This session variable could have at least three members: 

session.cr
session.uid
session.context

It could provide some facilities such as:

newsession = session.copy()

or

# copy updating context
newsession = session.copy({
	'lang': 'ca_ES'
})

I know that sounds like a big change but I can't avoid thinking on how many 
bug reports we would have avoided (and will avoid) just because developers 
keep forgeting passing context argument. 

It's true that there're lots of modules out there but most of them could be 
updated with simple regular expressions.

Of course, it also provides cleaner code and avoids typing a little bit of 
code :P
