A // decaying tag is one whose value automatically decays over time. // // The actual application of the decay behaviour is encapsulated in a // user-provided decaying function (DecayFn). The function is called on every // tick (determined by the interval parameter), and returns either the new value // of the tag, or whether it should be erased altogether. // // We do not set values on a decaying tag. Rather, we "bump" decaying tags by a // delta. This calls the BumpFn with the old value and the delta, to determine // the new value. // // Such a pluggable design affords a great deal of flexibility and versatility. // Behaviours that are straightforward to implement include: // // * Decay a tag by -1, or by half its current value, on every tick. // * Every time a value is bumped, sum it to its current value. // * Exponentially boost a score with every bump. // * Sum the incoming score, but keep it within min, max bounds. // // Commonly used DecayFns and BumpFns are provided in this package. type Decayer interface { io.Closer // RegisterDecayingTag creates and registers a new decaying tag, if and only // if a tag with the supplied name doesn't exist yet.
