+// Package context defines the Context type, which carries deadlines,
+// cancelation signals, and other request-scoped values across API boundaries
+// and between processes.
+// As of Go 1.7 this package is available in the standard library under the
+// name context. https://golang.org/pkg/context.
+//
+// Incoming requests to a server should create a Context, and outgoing calls to
+// servers should accept a Context. The chain of function calls between must
+// propagate the Context, optionally replacing it with a modified copy created
+// using WithDeadline, WithTimeout, WithCancel, or WithValue.
+//
+// Programs that use Contexts should follow these rules to keep interfaces
+// consistent across packages and enable static analysis tools to check context
+// propagation:
+//
+// Do not store Contexts inside a struct type; instead, pass a Context
+// explicitly to each function that needs it. The Context should be the first
+// parameter, typically named ctx:
+//
+// func DoSomething(ctx context.Context, arg Arg) error {
+// // ... use ctx ...
+// }
+//
+// Do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it. Pass context.TODO
+// if you are unsure about which Context to use.
+//
+// Use context Values only for request-scoped data that transits processes and
+// APIs, not for passing optional parameters to functions.
+//
+// The same Context may be passed to functions running in different goroutines;
+// Contexts are safe for simultaneous use by multiple goroutines.
+//
+// See http://blog.golang.org/context for example code for a server that uses
+// Contexts.

+// Background returns a non-nil, empty Context. It is never canceled, has no
+// values, and has no deadline. It is typically used by the main function,
+// initialization, and tests, and as the top-level Context for incoming
+// requests.

+// TODO returns a non-nil, empty Context. Code should use context.TODO when
+// it's unclear which Context to use or it is not yet available (because the
+// surrounding function has not yet been extended to accept a Context
+// parameter). TODO is recognized by static analysis tools that determine
+// whether Contexts are propagated correctly in a program.
