// Each node in the hierarchy is given a name and is aware of all of its

// ctx := context.Background()

// ctxB := mctx.NewChild(ctx, "B")
// fmt.Printf("ctx:%#v\n", mctx.Path(ctx)) // prints "ctx:[]string(nil)"

//
// ctx := context.Background()
// ctxA1 := mctx.NewChild(ctx, "A1")

// The context's key/value namespace is split into two: a space local to a node,
// not inherited from its parent or inheritable by its children
// (WithLocalValue), and the original one which comes with the builtin context
// package (context.WithValue):
//
// ctx := context.Background()
// ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "inheritableKey", "foo")

// Annotations
//
// Annotations are a special case of local key/values, where the data being
// stored is specifically runtime metadata which would be useful for logging,
// error output, etc... Annotation data might include an IP address of a
// connected client, a userID the client has authenticated as, the primary key
// of a row in a database being queried, etc...
//
// Annotations are always tied to the path of the node they were set on, so that
// even when the annotations of two contexts are merged the annotation data will
// not overlap unless the contexts have the same path.
