Setting inittrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standard error for
each package with init work, summarizing the execution time and memory allocation.
The emitted debug information for init functions can be used to find bottlenecks
or regressions in Go startup performance.
Packages with no init function work (user defined or compiler generated) are omitted.
Tracing plugin inits is not supported as they can execute concurrently. This would
make the implementation of tracing more complex while adding support for a very rare
use case. Plugin inits can be traced separately by testing a main package importing
the plugins package imports explicitly.

Inspired by stapelberg@google.com who instrumented doInit
in a prototype to measure init times with GDB.

The speed of feature development for these products outpaces the
standard Go 6-month release cycle tied to this page. The cost of
maintaining this list is becoming a burden as we make every
attempt at being impartial. As of this writing, we believe feature
lists belong on the pages of the editors/IDEs themselves.
