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 {...}

When we first wrote the method set definition, we had long
discussions about whether method sets applied to all types
or just named types, and we (or at least I) concluded that it
didn't matter: the two were equivalent points of view, because
the only way to introduce a new method was to write a method
function, which requires a named receiver type.
However, the addition of embedded types changed this.
Embedding can introduce a method without writing an explicit
method function, as in:
var x struct {
sync.Mutex
}
var px *struct {
sync.Mutex
}
var _, _ sync.Locker = &x, px
The edits in this CL make clear that both &x and px satisfy
sync.Locker. Today, gccgo already works this way; 6g does not.

If a printer is configured with the SourcePos mode
set, it will emit //-line comments as necessary to
ensure that the result - if reparsed - reflects the
original source position information.
This change required a bit of reworking of the
output section in printer.go. Specifically:
- Introduced new Config mode 'SourcePos'.
- Introduced new position 'out' which tracks the
position of the generated output if it were read
in again. If there is a discrepancy between out
and the current AST/source position, a //line
comment is emitted to correct for it.
- Lazy emission of indentation so that //line
comments can be placed correctly. As a result,
the trimmer will have to do less work.
- Merged writeItem into writeString.
- Merged writeByteN into writeByte.
- Use a []byte instead of a byte.Buffer both in the
printer and in the trimmer (eliminates dependency).

sync w/ parser.Mode, scanner.Mode, etc.)

Issue 2856 asks for a rename of a few methods to a
more idiomatic Go style. This is a very early API
that evolved organically throughout the years.
Together with the fact that ErrorVectors were embedded
in other data structures (e.g. Parser), just renaming
methods (e.g. GetError -> Error) would lead to undesired
behavior (e.g., Parser would act like an Error). Instead,
cleaned up API a bit more:
- removed ErrorVector in favor of ErrorList (already
present)
- simplified Scanner.Init by making the error handler a
function instead of requiring an ErrorHandler implementation
- adjusted helper functions accordingly

Previously, a timeout (in int64 nanoseconds) applied to a granularity
even smaller than one operation: a 100 byte read with a 1 second timeout
could take 100 seconds, if the bytes all arrived on the network 1 second

Rather than making the timeout granularity be per-Read/Write,
this CL makes callers set an absolute deadline (in time.Time)
