==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-eem.1366
Author: eem

UUID: 3a706d32-c2d6-416f-82c1-bbf735650385
Ancestors: Kernel-eem.1365

Slightly faster implementation of Context>>#isPrimFailToken:.
Improve the comments in Context>>#isHandlerContext/#isUnwindContext.
Nuke an obsolete method.
