Composable utilities for Go contexts.

go get -u github.com/SentimensRG/ctx

The ctx package provides utilites for working with data structures satisfying the ctx.Doner interface, most notably context.Context:

type Doner interface {
    Done() <-chan struct{}
}

The functions in ctx are appropriate for operations that do not preserve the values in a context, e.g.: joining several contexts together.

• sigctx: contexts for graceful shutdown
• refctx: contexts linked to a reference-counter
• mergectx: utilities for merging context.Context instances while preserving values, errors and deadlines.

Seriously, even if you just used it in your weekend project, I'd like to hear about it :)
