Fair point. context.C as a function argument everywhere was the impetus for the idea, context.Bg was an afterthought. Also, that's not true in all my code. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I use Background a lot in tests and sometimes I use it with a timeout that is not tied to the parent context in order to, for example, give a routine 10 seconds to do cleanup/shutdown, or 10 seconds to make a client connection to a service. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
