The context API is an important foundation in the Go ecosystem, particularly in circumstances where distributed operations and concurrency are used. Given this, I would like to propose a common understanding for what makes an API context aware, which can be thought of as handling context semantics correctly and being a good citizen in the Go ecosystem.
