The 'static type' (or simply 'type') of a variable is the type defined by
the variable's declaration. The 'dynamic type' of a variable is the actual
type of the value stored in a variable at runtime. Except for variables of
interface type, the static and dynamic type of variables is always the same.
Variables of interface type may hold values of different types during
execution. However, the dynamic type of the variable is always compatible
with the static type of the variable.

The ``interface'' of a type is the set of methods bound to it
(§Method declarations). The interface of a pointer type is the interface
of the pointer base type (§Pointer types). All types have an interface;
if they have no methods associated with them, their interface is
called the ``empty'' interface.
