The function has a bizarre signature: it was the only public function there
that exposed the reflect package. Also, its definition is peculiar and hard to
explain. It doesn't merit being exported.
This is an API change but really, it should never have been exported and
it's certain very few programs will depend on it: it's too weird.
Fixes#2846.

It complicates the interface unnecessarily.
Document this in go1.html.
Also update the go/doc Makefile.
Fixes#2836.

This CL introduces new function ListenMulticastUDP to fix
multicast UDP listening across multiple listeners issue,
to replace old multicast methods JoinGroup and LeaveGroup
on UDPConn.
This CL also enables multicast testing by default.
Fixes#2730.

Separating Method from Func made the code only more complicated
without adding much to the useability/readability of the API.
Reverted to where it was, but leaving the new method-specific
fields Orig and Level.
Former clients (godoc) of doc.Method only used the Func fields;
and because Func was embedded, no changes are needed with respect
to the removal of Method.
Changed type of Func.Recv from ast.Expr to string. This was a
long-standing TODO. Also implemented Func.Orig field (another TODO).
No further go/doc API changes are expected for Go 1.

This should make it easier to add the zillion little changes coming.
No content change here beyond a couple of introductory sentences.

This allows HTML pages to specify arbitrary data in a header:
<!--{
"Title": "The page title",
...
}-->
replacing the old style comments:
<!-- title The page title -->

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
apart. This was confusing.
Rather than making the timeout granularity be per-Read/Write,
this CL makes callers set an absolute deadline (in time.Time)
after which operations will fail. This makes it possible to
set deadlines at higher levels, without knowing exactly how
many read/write operations will happen in e.g. reading an HTTP
request.
Fixes#2723

gofmt likes to put lines like
// STOP OMIT
two blank lines from a closing brace, creating an ugly space inside
<pre> blocks in some of these files. This change resolves this issue.

This CL is in part a proposal for how to write these sections:
- Brief discussion of change
- No attempt to analyze the thinking about it
- Old code
- New code, runnable if possible
- How to update old programs

No content yet other than titles and an introductory paragraph.
