Request specific RequireJS configuration context

Question

If I configure a specific context:

var myRequire = require.config({
  context: 'foo',
  paths: {
    'jquery': 'jquery-1.11.2'
  }
});

I can then immediately use myRequire to load a module:

myRequire(['require', 'jquery'], function (require, $) { /* ... */ });

But if I move the configuration to a separate file, how do I retrieve the proper context?

Based on this answer I found that requirejs.s.contexts['foo'].require returns the same function as myRequire. That seems hacky. Another option would be to define a module for the config and return myRequire from it. What is the approved method?

This is working:

require.config.js:

define(function () {
    'use strict';

    var myRequire = require.config({
        context: 'foo',
        paths: {
            'jquery': 'jquery-1.11.2'
        }
    });

    return {
        myRequire: myRequire
    };
});

main.js:

// does need path and .js extension
requirejs(['/scripts/require.config.js'], function (requireConfig) {
    var myRequire = requireConfig.myRequire;

    myRequire(['require', 'jquery'], function (require, $) { /* ... */ });
});

I'm still open to better ways, and I have not tested this with r.js.

This is pretty much what came to my mind when I saw your question last night but I was busy then.
