Since `DeserializationContext` is per-call (i.e. no stateful instance
created for each `readValue()`) but `DeserializationConfig` is not (it
is immutable already in 2.x), latter can not contain reference to
former, so that is unfortunately not possible.
I think I'd need to understand usage bit better -- could you create an
issue for `jackson-databind`, adding references from your link, so I
can have a look at it? AnnotationIntrospector is similar to
`DeserializationConfig` and lacks access to `DeserializationContext`
(nor should expect one), but there should be a way to refactor things.
