 Go library to run code concurrently

 ## Running multiple Go routines concurrency
 
 * GoN - run N go routines concurrently
 * GoEach - run a go routine for each array element
-* NewGroupContext - Similar to x/sync/errgroup but catches panics and returns all errors
+* Group - Similar to x/sync/errgroup but catches panics and returns all errors
 
 It is possible to instrument how the go routines are launched or launch them in serial for debugging.
