For me it is the default when I go to https://sourcegraph.com/search but 
there's documentation at 
https://sourcegraph.com/docs/code-search/working/search_contexts

Rather than renaming it, I'd say that the name chosen in the proposed text is a 
placeholder, and have a section in the prose that describes different naming 
choices, pros and cons, suggests a name from you as the author, but asks WG14 
to pick the final name. I know Jens mentioned he doesn’t like the name 
`elementsof` and I suspect if we ask five more people we'll get about seven 
more opinions on what the name could/should be. 😝

Ahh, context:global seems to be what I wanted.  Where is that documented?

Thanks!  I'll rename it to elementsof().
