// This module defines the Context type, which carries deadlines, cancellation signals,
// and other request-scoped values across API boundaries and between processes.

// Key represents the type for the ValueContext key
pub type Key = bool | f32 | f64 | i16 | i64 | i8 | int | string | u16 | u32 | u64 | u8 | voidptr

// `Context` is an interface that defined the minimum required functionality
// for a Context.
//
// `deadline()` returns the time when work done on behalf of this context
// should be canceled. deadline returns none when no deadline is
// set. Successive calls to deadline return the same results.
//
// `value(key)` returns an Optional that wraps the value associated with this context for key.
// It returns none if no value is associated with key. Successive calls to Value with
// the same key returns the same result.
//
// Use context values only for request-scoped data that transits
// processes and API boundaries, not for passing optional parameters to
// functions.
//
// A key identifies a specific value in a Context. Functions that wish
// to store values in Context typically allocate a key in a global
// variable then use that key as the argument to context.with_value and
// Context.value. A key can be any type that supports equality;
// modules should define keys as an unexported type to avoid
// collisions.
//
// `done()` returns a channel that's closed when work done on behalf of this
// context should be canceled. done may return a closed channel if this context can
// never be canceled. Successive calls to done return the same value.
// The close of the done channel may happen asynchronously,
// after the cancel function returns.
//
// with_cancel arranges for done to be closed when cancel is called;
// with_deadline arranges for done to be closed when the deadline
// expires; with_timeout arranges for done to be closed when the timeout
// elapses.
//
// `err()` returns an IError based on some conditions
// If done is not yet closed, err returns none.
// If done is closed, err returns a non-none error explaining why:
// canceled if the context was canceled
// or deadline_exceeded if the context's deadline passed.
// After err returns a non-none error, successive calls to err return the same error.

// 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).
