 Just in case you haven't found it yet, the mystery is explained in the
comments before pdf_context_setter and pdf_context itself. I hope the
explanations there are sufficiently clear to answer any questions about why
this object must exist, but please let me know if it doesn't.

 Arguably, using braces instead of parenthesis (which you've already
correctly done, of course) is sufficient to prevent from confusing the
