def detect_current_context():
    """Chooses an appropriate context depending on available contexts and open instances. with the following priority:

    4. Other

    if compas.is_rhino():

    other_contexts = [v for v in ITEM_SCENEOBJECT.keys()]
    if other_contexts:
        return other_contexts[0]
    return NoneThe context detection code defaults to the first context found in ITEM_SCENEOBJECT when it is not detected to be one of Blender, Grasshopper, Rhino. Currently, on my system this is "Viewer", but the reason for this is random.
To Reproduce
scene = Scene()
meshobj = scene.add(mesh)The type of meshobj will be the one registered for the viewer.
Expected behavior
The default context should be None, and the type of meshobj should be the base type.
