// Package metadata provides an API that allows plugins to add metadata to the context.
// Each metadata is stored under a label that has the form <plugin>/<name>. Each metadata
// is returned as a Func. When Func is called the metadata is returned. If Func is expensive to
// execute it is its responsibility to provide some form of caching. During the handling of a
// query it is expected the metadata stays constant.
//
// Basic example:
//
// Implement the Provider interface for a plugin p:
//
// func (p P) Metadata(ctx context.Context, state request.Request) context.Context {
// metadata.SetValueFunc(ctx, "test/something", func() string { return "myvalue" })
// return ctx
// }
//
// Basic example with caching:
//
// func (p P) Metadata(ctx context.Context, state request.Request) context.Context {
// cached := ""
// f := func() string {
// if cached != "" {
// return cached
// }
// cached = expensiveFunc()
// return cached
// }
// metadata.SetValueFunc(ctx, "test/something", f)
// return ctx
// }
//
// If you need access to this metadata from another plugin:
//
// // ...
// valueFunc := metadata.ValueFunc(ctx, "test/something")
// value := valueFunc()
// // use 'value'
//
