// Package context defines an internal context type.

// regarding concurrent access and retaining beyond the scope of a call.

//
// - Unlike context.Context, which "may be passed to functions running in
// different goroutines", it is *not safe* to use the same Context in multiple
// concurrent goroutines.
//
// - It is *not safe* to retain a Context passed to a function beyond the scope
// of that function call.
//
// In both cases, values extracted from the Context should be used instead.
