Research direction

Start by reading the Context class and its run method, then review how command execution parameters are defined and passed. Determine whether supporting custom parameters is an intended API change or requires a documented extension mechanism; done should include a clear supported approach and coverage for the requested custom-argument behavior.

Description

This might be more a general python question, but any tips would be great!

I want to add my own custom parameters to the context class's run method. I guess I could patch it, but wondering if there is a better supported way?

I want to be able to do this:
ctx.run("mycommand", hide=False, myCustomArg="somevalue")

So I can add my own functionality.

Is it possible to extend the Context class with my own and use my own class?
