bd65404eef spec: clarify a couple of issues about channels
1. They are FIFOs.
2. They are safe for concurrent access.

9f75dd7f25 undo CL 11884043 / bfd5ed8236d5
CL submitted prematurely by mistake.

««« original CL description
spec: clarify index and selector expressions

1) Explain a[i] and a[i:j] where a is of type *A as
   shortcut for (*a)[i] and (*a)[i:j], respectively.

2) Together with 1), because len() of nil slices is
   well defined, there's no need to special case nil
   operands anymore.

3) The result of indexing or slicing a constant string
   is always a non-constant byte or string value.

4) The result of slicing an untyped string is a value
   of type string.

5) If the operand of a valid slice a[i:j] is nil (i, j
   must be 0 for it to be valid - this already follows
   from the in-range rules), the result is a nil slice.

Fixes #4913.
Fixes #5951.

de47f68c99 spec: fix spec on conversions to match implementations
The existing compilers convert empty strings to empty
but non-nil byte and rune slices. The spec required
a nil byte and rune slice in those cases. That seems
an odd additional requirement. Adjust the spec to
match the reality.

Also, removed over-specification for conversions of
nil []byte and []rune: such nil slices already act
like empty slices and thus don't need extra language.
Added extra examples instead.

Fixes #5704.

548c65a568 spec: add another sentence about BOMs
Although one may argue that they should be legal, gc (at least)
disallows byte order marks that are not the first code point
in the file. Added a sentence to the "Implementation restriction"
clause in the "Source code representation" section to document
this better.

Lifting this restriction (again - the rule has changed at least
twice already) would not break any existing programs, should
we later decide yet again to fiddle the rules about these little
fly specks.

It appears that gccgo is ignoring it. go/types

expressions occuring in it) w/o errors. For
more details see the discussion in issue 4883.

9905cec0dc spec: terminating statements for functions
The only functional change is the new section
on terminating statements.

There is a minor syntax rewrite (not change)
of function declarations to make it easier to
refer to the notion of a function from all places
where it is used (function decls, method decls,
and function literals).

Includes some minor fixes/additions of missing links.

Based closely on Russ' proposal.
