// Package godebug makes the settings in the $GODEBUG environment variable
// available to other packages. These settings are often used for compatibility
// tweaks, when we need to change a default behavior but want to let users
// opt back in to the original. For example GODEBUG=http2server=0 disables
// HTTP/2 support in the net/http server.
//
// In typical usage, code should declare a Setting as a global
// and then call Value each time the current setting value is needed:
//
//	var http2server = godebug.New("http2server")
//
//	func ServeConn(c net.Conn) {
//		if http2server.Value() == "0" {
//			disallow HTTP/2
//			...
//		}
//		...
//	}
