+/* This file provides a mechanism for tracking metadata through the grpc stack.
+ It's not intended for consumption outside of the library.
+
+ Metadata is tracked in the context of a grpc_mdctx. For the time being there
+ is one of these per-channel, avoiding cross channel interference with memory
+ use and lock contention.
+
+ The context tracks unique strings (grpc_mdstr) and pairs of strings
+ (grpc_mdelem). Any of these objects can be checked for equality by comparing
+ their pointers. These objects are reference counted.
+
+ grpc_mdelem can additionally store a (non-NULL) user data pointer. This
+ pointer is intended to be used to cache semantic meaning of a metadata
+ element. For example, an OAuth token may cache the credentials it represents
+ and the time at which it expires in the mdelem user data.
+
+ Combining this metadata cache and the hpack compression table allows us to
+ simply lookup complete preparsed objects quickly, incurring a few atomic
+ ops per metadata element on the fast path.
+
+ grpc_mdelem instances MAY live longer than their refcount implies, and are
+ garbage collected periodically, meaning cached data can easily outlive a
+ single request. */
