A context based property query that applies to all fetch operations and a local
property query.
Where both the context and local queries include a clause with the same name,
the local clause is used and the context one ignored.
For example, a context property query of "fips=yes" and a local property query
of "fips=no" would result in algorithms that have the "fips" property set t
"no".
the local clause overrides the context clause.

It is possible for a local property query to remove a clause in the context

For example, a context property query that contains "fips=yes" would normally

However, if the setting of
the "fips" property is irrelevant to the operations being performed, the local

However, if the setting of the "fips" property is irrelevant to the

Note that the local property query could not use "fips=no" because that would
disallow any implementations with "fips=yes" rather than not caring about the
setting.
