In `mapbox.js` you'll see this line:
```js
const key = {};
const key = Symbol();
```
We can use anything as a key — we could do `setContext('mapbox', ...)` for example. The downside of using a string is that different component libraries might accidentally use the same one; using an object literal means the keys are guaranteed not to conflict in any circumstance (since an object only has referential equality to itself, i.e. `{} !== {}` whereas `"x" === "x"`), even when you have multiple different contexts operating across many component layers.
Technically, we can use any value as a key — we could do `setContext('mapbox', ...)` for example. The downside of using a string is that different component libraries might accidentally use the same one; using [symbols](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol), on the other hand, means that the keys are guaranteed not to conflict in any circumstance, even when you have multiple different contexts operating across many component layers, since a symbol is essentially a unique identifier.
