Description
The context, as passed to the various hooks, does not tell us whether a key was overridden by the user when building/creating/stubbing the object. This means we can't know whether a value is the default, or intentionally set.
Let's expose this on the context. It could be as simple as a list of keys set by the user.

Research direction
