I don't really like this name, but couldn't find anything that would suit this. Maybe we don't need a "section" comment here? I was trying to replicate what was already there

console context(optional DOMString label = "");
};

Again, not convinced about this name


Each {{console}} namespace object has an associated <dfn>context name</dfn>, empty by default.

Not sure if we should have an example here, or indicate that the context name could be consumed in the UI (for display/filtering)


<h4 id="context" method for="console">context(|label|)</h4>

1. Let |context| be a new {{console}} namespace object.
1. Let |contextName| be the empty string.
1. If |label| is not null, then set |contextName| to |label|.
1. Set |context|'s <a>context name</a> to |contextName|.
1. Return |context|.
