+- Derive each context from the context of the caller. When work must
+  finish even after the caller is cancelled, such as a final write, use
+  `context.WithoutCancel` of the caller's context. Use
+  `context.Background()` only where no caller context exists: in `run`,
+  and in methods that follow `io.Closer`.
+- Name a duration that limits one operation after that operation, and
+  end the name with `Timeout`, so that the name says what it limits
+  without its comment. Define it in the file that applies it, not in the
+  file of another type.
