Package delay provides a way to execute code outside the scope of a
user request by using the taskqueue API.

To declare a function that may be executed later, call Func
in a top-level assignment context, passing it an arbitrary string key
and a function whose first argument is of type context.Context.
The key is used to look up the function so it can be called later.
	var laterFunc = delay.Func("key", myFunc)
It is also possible to use a function literal.
	var laterFunc = delay.Func("key", func(c context.Context, x string) {
		// ...
	})

To call a function, invoke its Call method.
	laterFunc.Call(c, "something")
A function may be called any number of times. If the function has any
return arguments, and the last one is of type error, the function may
return a non-nil error to signal that the function should be retried.

The arguments to functions may be of any type that is encodable by the gob
package. If an argument is of interface type, it is the client's responsibility
to register with the gob package whatever concrete type may be passed for that
argument; see http://golang.org/pkg/gob/#Register for details.

Any errors during initialization or execution of a function will be
logged to the application logs. Error logs that occur during initialization will
be associated with the request that invoked the Call method.

The state of a function invocation that has not yet successfully
executed is preserved by combining the file name in which it is declared
with the string key that was passed to the Func function. Updating an app
with pending function invocations is safe as long as the relevant
functions have the (filename, key) combination preserved.

The delay package uses the Task Queue API to create tasks that call the
reserved application path "/_ah/queue/go/delay".
This path must not be marked as "login: required" in app.yaml;
it must be marked as "login: admin" or have no access restriction.
