I'm not sure I understand that last paragraph: `findOrSetObject` will set the object on the context it's called on if it can't find one. It will never affect a parent context.

As far as changing the parent object, there isn't anything built in. I think the best approach would be to make the context object itself mutable. Something like `class Ctx(var state: MyState)`, then `val ctx by requireObject&lt;Ctx&gt;()` and `ctx.state = newState`.
