I think you should do that.  Maybe 'window-restore-set-context' and
'window-restore-use-context' would be more indicative names.

Note that when a buffer is killed, the values of its local variables may
be lost.  I don't know whether this is an issue here.  Alternatively, we
could have 'set_window_buffer' set the 'context' window parameter from
the buffer-local value which would, however, mean that whenever one
changes the buffer-local value, one would have to simultaneously update
the parameters in all windows showing that buffer.  Something that could
be done with the help of an advice, though...
