For golang.org I intend to rewrite the jquery link in godoc.html
to point to the Google-hosted jquery.js.

Also: Be explicit what operator means with respect to conversion types.
The parenthesis requirement is a language change. At the moment,
literal function types in conversions that cannot possibly be
followed by a '(' don't need parentheses. For instance:
func(int)int(x) -> same as (func(int)int)(x)
func()()(x) -> same as (func())(x)
but:
func(int)(x) -> could be func(int)x {...}

Also: Adjust prose in Conversions section
to be consistent.
This is a backward-compatible syntax change.

changes were done by hand.

Function and method calls are valid expression statements,
but calling certain built-in functions is not permitted.
Enumerate the built-ins.
Also: unsafe.Offsetof permits parenthesized selectors as
arguments.
This is simply documenting existing compiler behavior
(both gc and gccgo agree).

Both gc and gccgo permit calls such as unsafe.Sizeof(42). The
spec only permits variable arguments. This is a (backward-compatible)
spec change reflecting the status quo. Seems preferrable over
restricting the compilers.

Strings happen to be represented similarly to
byte slices internally, but they don't quite
behave like them: While strings can be indexed,
sliced, and have their len() taken like byte
slices, string elements are not addressable,
make() and cap() is not supported, range loops
operate differently, and they are immutable (and
thus behave like values rather then references).

This change messes with anchor links. It obscures the item being linked to.
I don't see a way around it. Undoing for now.

doc css: topbar sticks to the top of large windows.
Rationale: for large screens, the convenience of not having to scroll
to the top of the page to do a search outweighs having less vertical
space.

A race between

print(a)
is not guaranteed to print either "hello, world" or "".

After further deliberation, let's back down to the Unicode proposal.
Ignoring aBOMinations anywhere means that things like
grep unsafe *.go
might fail because there's a BOM in the middle: unBOMsafe.

No changes to the meaning, just clearer language and more
examples, including illegal rune and string literals.
In particular, "character literal" and "character constant"
are now called "rune literal" and "rune constant" and the
word "character" always refers to the source text, not
program values.

- differentiate between illegal selectors and run-time panics
- use "indirect" as opposed to "dereference" consistently
- add extra links
