Contexts[] gives a list of all contexts. Contexts["string"] gives a list of the contexts that match the string.

(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Stub is an attribute which specifies that if a symbol is ever used, Needs should automatically be called on the context of the symbol.
$Context is a global variable that gives the current context.
