gollark: More great "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS":```go// A Context carries a deadline, cancelation signal, and request-scoped values// across API boundaries. Its methods are safe for simultaneous use by multiple// goroutines.type Context interface { // Done returns a channel that is closed when this Context is canceled // or times out. Done() <-chan struct{} // Err indicates why this context was canceled, after the Done channel // is closed. Err() error // Deadline returns the time when this Context will be canceled, if any. Deadline() (deadline time.Time, ok bool) // Value returns the value associated with key or nil if none. Value(key interface{}) interface{}}```
