<h4 id="vet-impossible-interface">New warning for impossible interface conversions</h4>
<p><!-- CL 218779, 232660 -->
The vet tool now warns about type assertions from one interface type
to another interface type when the type assertion will always fail.
This will happen if both interface types implement a method with the
same name but with a different type signature.
</p>
<p>
There is no reason to write a type assertion that always fails, so
any code that triggers this vet check should be rewritten.
</p>
<p>
This new vet check is enabled by default when using <code>go test</code>.
</p>
<p>
We are considering prohibiting impossible interface type assertions
in a future release of Go.
Such a language change would not be backward compatible.
We are using this vet check as a first trial step toward changing
the language.
