* Stores the node-independent state of a validation run.

* When the validator validates a graph of objects, it uses two classes to
* store the state during the validation:
*
*
* - For each node in the validation graph (objects, properties, getters) the
* validator creates an instance of {@link ExecutionContextInterface} that
* stores the information about that node.
* - One single GlobalExecutionContextInterface stores the state
* that is independent of the current node.

* Use {@link Context\ExecutionContextInterface} instead.
