Commonly used constants names for Go
This package aims lacking of commonly used constants for Go from various contexts like net, http etc. No more "application/json", "Content-Length" etc. manual declarations.
The idea is to provide widely used constants names for common packages as nicely companions.
This package follow the convention that every package name in gostand begins with underscore("_") to avoid collisions and provide smooth companion for other packages.
For instance _net, _http, _os etc. This concept will provide possibility to add common constant to existing packages like net, net/http, os and others.

If you like the concept and want to contribute, please feel free to add any commonly used (RFC/KNOWN specification) constants in best appropriate package location and open PR to extend this package even further. Just remember about underscore naming convention. To speed up the contribution process, if your addition has a support in any standard out there (like RFC's etc), please add this as comment next to line and to PR.
