This documents the status quo for most implementations,
with one exception: gc generates a run-time error for
constant but out-of-range indices when slicing a constant
string. See issue 7200 for a detailed discussion.

The underlying type of the predeclared type error is not itself,
but the interface it is defined as.

gccgo considers built-in function calls returning a constant not as function call (issue 7386)
go/types considers any call (regular or built-in) as a function call
The wording and examples clarify that only "function calls" that are issued
at run-time (and thus do not result in a constant result) are considered
function calls in this case.
gc is inconsistent (issue 7385)
gccgo already interprets the spec accordingly and issue 7386 is moot.
go/types considers all calls (constant or not) as function calls (issue 7457).
Fixes#7387.

An absent condition/tag in for and switch statements is equivalent
to the predeclared constant true; not simply the expression true
(which might lead to a locally defined true).
Not a language change.

crypto/tls has two functions for creating a client connection: Dial,
which most users are expected to use, and Client, which is the
lower-level API.
Dial does what you expect: it gives you a secure connection to the host
that you specify and the majority of users of crypto/tls appear to work
fine with it.
Client gives more control but needs more care. Specifically, if it
wasn't given a server name in the tls.Config then it didn't check that
the server's certificates match any hostname - because it doesn't have
one to check against. It was assumed that users of the low-level API
call VerifyHostname on the certificate themselves if they didn't supply
a hostname.
A review of the uses of Client both within Google and in a couple of
external libraries has shown that nearly all of them got this wrong.
Thus, this change enforces that either a ServerName or
InsecureSkipVerify is given. This does not affect tls.Dial.

SetPanicOnFault allows recovery from unexpected memory faults.
This can be useful if you are using a memory-mapped file

Add b.RunParallel function that captures parallel benchmark boilerplate:
creates worker goroutines, joins worker goroutines, distributes work
among them in an efficient way, auto-tunes grain size.

go/build is changed to list the .m files in a package, and match them for build constraints, adding them to a new field: Package.MFiles.
The go tool is changed to support building .m files and linking in the results during CGO and SWIG builds. This means packages that create a C interface to calls Objective-C code from go are now go-gettable without producing and distributing .syso files. This change is analogous to the one in Go 1.2 made to support C++ built code.
This change doesn't support .mm files (Objective C++).
Also added support for these MFiles to go list's -json mode.
Fixes#6536.
