The allowed conversions before and after are:
type Tstring string
type Tbyte []byte
type Trune []rune
string <-> string // ok
string <-> []byte // ok
string <-> []rune // ok
string <-> Tstring // ok
string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> string // ok
Tstring <-> []byte // ok
Tstring <-> []rune // ok
Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
Update spec, compiler, tests. Use in a few packages.
We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
Fixes#1707.

This feature should make it easier to look at very large
directory trees.
- a new mode (URL: /pkg/?m=flat) shows directory listings w/o
indentation and entries with full path (html and text mode)
- in text mode, hierarchical (non-flat) directory listings are
now presented with indentation (/pkg/?m=text)
- in html mode, hierarchical (non-flat) directory listings are
presented with slightly less indentation
- there is an internal hook for programmatic control of the
display mode (for specialized versions of godoc).

An experiment: allow structs to be copied even if they
contain unexported fields. This gives packages the
ability to return opaque values in their APIs, like reflect
does for reflect.Value but without the kludgy hacks reflect
resorts to.
In general, we trust programmers not to do silly things
like *x = *y on a package's struct pointers, just as we trust
programmers not to do unicode.Letter = unicode.Digit,
but packages that want a harder guarantee can introduce
an extra level of indirection, like in the changes to os.File
in this CL or by using an interface type.
All in one CL so that it can be rolled back more easily if
we decide this is a bad idea.

- syscall (not os) now defines the Errno type.
- the low-level assembly functions Syscall, Syscall6, and so on
return Errno, not uintptr
- syscall wrappers all return error, not uintptr.

Not sure if this is what you'd really want. Maybe with a higher limit than 10
or perhaps keep checking nerrors > 10 per yyerror, but check the cumulative

Godefs was a C program that ran gcc and then parsed the
stabs debugging information in the resulting object file to
generate C or Go code for bootstrapping as part of
package runtime or package syscall.
Cgo does the same work, but using the dwarf debugging
information. Add -godefs and -cdefs options to cgo that
mimic godefs's output, albeit with different input
(a Go program, not a C program).
This has been a "nice to have" for a while but was forced
by Apple removing stabs debugging output from their
latest compilers.
Fixes#835.
Fixes#2338.

Use HEADER_IO macro from gopack to read archive header
The HEADER_IO macro portably reads archive headers. The
current arsize code fails in the case of archive headers produced
on plan 9 6c and read on other systems (it's not portable).
Modify lex.c to use the portable macro

There are three classes of methods/functions called Error:
a) The Error method in the just introduced error interface
b) Error methods that create or report errors (http.Error, etc)
c) Error methods that return errors previously associated with
the receiver (Tokenizer.Error, rows.Error, etc).
This CL introduces the convention that methods in case (c)
should be named Err.
The reasoning for the change is:
- The change differentiates the two kinds of APIs based on
names rather than just on signature, unloading Error a bit
- Err is closer to the err variable name that is so commonly
used with the intent of verifying an error
- Err is shorter and thus more convenient to be used often
on error verifications, such as in iterators following the
convention of the sql package.

This partially undoes 8fd7e6d070c8, but preserves its semantics.
More importantly, it results in the data about each fix being
decentralised, which makes it easier for new fixes to be added,
and other gofix users to slot new fixes in.
It also adds some useful metadata that could be used in the future.
