// WithDeadlineFraction returns a Context with a fraction of the
// original context's timeout. This is useful in sequential pipelines
// of work, where one might try options and fall back to others
// depending on the time available, or failure to respond. For example:
//
//  // getPicture returns a picture from our encrypted database
//  // we have a pipeline of multiple steps. we need to:
//  // - get the data from a database
//  // - decrypt it
//  // - apply many transforms
//  //
//  // we **know** that each step takes increasingly more time.
//  // The transforms are much more expensive than decryption, and
//  // decryption is more expensive than the database lookup.
//  // If our database takes too long (i.e. >0.2 of available time),
//  // there's no use in continuing.

//    // fractional timeout contexts to the rescue!

//    // try the database with 0.2 of remaining time.

//    }
//
//    // try decryption with 0.3 of remaining time.
//    ctx2, _ := ctxext.WithDeadlineFraction(ctx, 0.3)
//    if val, err = decryptor.Decrypt(ctx2, val); err != nil {
//      return nil, err
//    }
