+// WaitGroupErr is similar to WaitGroup but allows goroutines to report error.
+// Only the first error is retained and reported back.
+//
+// Example usage:
+// 	wg := WaitGroupErr{}
+// 	wg.Add(1)
+// 	go func() {
+//			defer wg.Done()
+//			if err := ...; err != nil {
+//				wg.ReportError(err)
+//				return
+// 			}
+// 	}()
+//	return wg.Error()
+//
+type WaitGroupErr struct {
+	WaitGroup
+
+	// mu protects firstErr.
+	mu Mutex
+
+	// firstErr holds the first error reported. nil is no error occurred.
+	firstErr error
+}
+
+// ReportError reports an error. Note it does not call Done().

+	w.mu.Lock()
+	defer w.mu.Unlock()
