// The tomb package offers a conventional API for clean goroutine termination.
//
// A Tomb tracks the lifecycle of a goroutine as alive, dying or dead,
// and the reason for its death.
//
// The zero value of a Tomb assumes that a goroutine is about to be
// created or already alive. Once Kill or Killf is called with an
// argument that informs the reason for death, the goroutine is in
// a dying state and is expected to terminate soon. Right before the
// goroutine function or method returns, Done must be called to inform
// that the goroutine is indeed dead and about to stop running.
//
// A Tomb exposes Dying and Dead channels. These channels are closed
// when the Tomb state changes in the respective way. They enable
// explicit blocking until the state changes, and also to selectively
// unblock select statements accordingly.
//
// When the tomb state changes to dying and there's still logic going
// on within the goroutine, nested functions and methods may choose to
// return ErrDying as their error value, as this error won't alter the
// tomb state if provided to the Kill method. This is a convenient way to
// follow standard Go practices in the context of a dying tomb.
//
// For background and a detailed example, see the following blog post:
//
//   http://blog.labix.org/2011/10/09/death-of-goroutines-under-control
//
// For a more complex code snippet demonstrating the use of multiple
// goroutines with a single Tomb, see:
//
//   http://play.golang.org/p/Xh7qWsDPZP
