The reason for my objection are that the odds that the contents of the
context change in the future are very small for low-level standardized
crypto functions (this is the reason for making structure opaques). On the
other hand, foregoing the checks for memory allocations is nice, and crypto
functions may be used in speed-critical portions of the code where memory
allocations are not negligible.
