As I see it, the operator should never have to know which space call it.
It can interpret the datas passed in context. What are those datas is
left to the caller.

But the space controller need to call the right operator when a  
command is
executed, so how the command/(operator+context) matching is done is the
key, I think. And I'm unclear on how Kaito's code does it.
