Not what you are asking for, but it is probably wrong to call this
function directly. If you want to parse something, it's better to use
`org-element-context' (or `org-element-at-point' but it doesn't fit
here).

I don't know, but `org-context' is very different from
`org-element-context'. You probably mean to use the latter.
