		prefix     = "/services/foosvc/"    // known at compile time
		instance   = "1.2.3.4:8080"         // taken from runtime or platform, somehow
		key        = prefix + instance      // should be globally unique
		value      = "http://" + instance   // based on our transport
		ctx        = context.Background()

	client, err := NewClient(ctx, []string{etcdServer}, ClientOptions{})

	// It's likely that we'll also want to connect to other services and call
	// their methods. We can build an Instancer to listen for changes from etcd,

	// endpoint, and finally wrap it with a retry strategy to get something that
	// can be used as an endpoint directly.
