/// A ClientContext allows the person implementing a service client to:
///
/// - Add custom metadata key-value pairs that will propagated to the server
/// side.
/// - Control call settings such as compression and authentication.
/// - Initial and trailing metadata coming from the server.
/// - Get performance metrics (ie, census).
///
/// Context settings are only relevant to the call they are invoked with, that
/// is to say, they aren't sticky. Some of these settings, such as the
/// compression options, can be made persistant at channel construction time
/// (see \a grpc::CreateCustomChannel).
///
/// \warning ClientContext instances should \em not be reused across rpcs.
