/// `UserInfo` is a dictionary for heterogeneously typed values with type safe access to the stored
/// values.
///
/// `UserInfo` is shared between server interceptor contexts and server handlers, this is on a
/// per-RPC basis. `UserInfo` is *not* shared across a connection.
///
/// Values are keyed by a type conforming to the `UserInfo.Key` protocol. The protocol requires an
/// `associatedtype`: the type of the value the key is paired with. A key can be created using a
/// caseless `enum`, for example:
///
/// ```
/// enum IDKey: UserInfo.Key {
///   typealias Value = Int
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Values can be set and retrieved from `UserInfo` by subscripting with the key:
///
/// ```
/// userInfo[IDKey.self] = 42
/// let id = userInfo[IDKey.self]  // id = 42
///
/// userInfo[IDKey.self] = nil
/// ```
///
/// More convenient access can be provided with helper extensions on `UserInfo`:
///
/// ```
/// extension UserInfo {
///   var id: IDKey.Value? {
///     get { self[IDKey.self] }
///     set { self[IDKey.self] = newValue }
///   }
/// }
/// ```
