// 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:
//
//    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
//    }
//
// Check the metadata from another plugin:
//
//    // ...
//    valueFunc := metadata.ValueFunc(ctx, "test/something")
//    value := valueFunc()
//    // use 'value'
//
