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.

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.

This contains the files that required handiwork, mostly
Makefiles with updated TARGs, plus the two packages
with modified package names.
html/template/doc.go needs a separate edit pass.
test/fixedbugs/bug358.go is not legal go so gofix fails on it.

I have a test, but not sure if it's worth adding. Instead i've made
the patching-over in reflect.c methods more fatal and more descriptive.

Got rid of all the magic mystery globals. Now
for %N, %T, and %S, the flags +,- and # set a sticky
debug, sym and export mode, only visible in the new fmt.c.
Default is error mode. Handle h and l flags consistently with
the least side effects, so we can now change
things without worrying about unrelated things
breaking.

There is no semantic change here, just better errors.
If a function says it takes a byte, and you pass it an int,
the compiler error now says that you need a byte, not
that you need a uint8.

For example, if you are debugging an optimization
problem you can now run
GCFLAGS=-N gotest
This is a convention for make, not for the general build,
so it may go away or be done differently in the eventual
'go' command.
The plan is that people will be able to test their code for
rune safety by doing GCFLAGS=-r.

Unfortunate sequence of events is:
1. maxcpu=2, mcpu=1, grunning=1
2. starttheworld creates an extra M:
maxcpu=2, mcpu=2, grunning=1
4. the goroutine calls runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1)
maxcpu=1, mcpu=2, grunning=1
5. since it sees mcpu>maxcpu, it calls gosched()
6. schedule() deschedules the goroutine:
maxcpu=1, mcpu=1, grunning=0
7. schedule() call getnextandunlock() which
fails to pick up the goroutine again,
because canaddcpu() fails, because mcpu==maxcpu
8. then it sees that grunning==0,
reports deadlock and terminates

My previous CL:
changeset: 9645:ce2e5f44b310
user: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org>
date: Tue Sep 06 10:24:21 2011 -0400
summary: gc: unify stack frame layout
introduced a bug wherein no variables were
being registerized, making Go programs 2-3x
slower than they had been before.
This CL fixes that bug (along with some others
it was hiding) and adds a test that optimization
makes at least one test case faster.

The handoff algorithm is really only good for two cores.
Beyond that we will need to so something more sophisticated,
like have each core hand off to the next one, around a circle.
Even so, the code is a good checkpoint; for now we'll limit the
number of gc procs to at most 2.
