waitgroupext provides extended WaitGroups that are similar in usage
and API to sync.WaitGroup save for the presence of a WaitChan()
function. This returns a channel that can be selected upon to wait
for a WaitGroup, allowing an interruptible wait.
Benchmarks are a little slower than conventional waitgroups:
