Make it a little clearer how they are used, in particular that
it is not enough just to return a nil pointer on error, but also

Currently tip.golang.org leads to golang.org and
local godoc also leads to golang.org (when you don't have internet connectivity).

This rule not existing has been the source of many discussions
on golang-dev and on issues. We have stated publicly that it is
true, but we have never written it down. Write it down.
Fixes#6242.

At the moment, godoc expands the example in the link, but in
the past it has not. Add a waffle word to allow either possibility.
Also change the order of cases in the switch in Compare to

It's a common mistake to build a recursive String method; explain it well and

Drop the phrase "reference types", which has caused confusion.
Add a section about 2D arrays, a common newbie question.

The '...' was missing on a call to fmt.Sprintf() which would result in
the slice being printed instead of the correct result.

Also explain the situation with recursive String methods more accurately,
and clean up the code now that the fmt package is more careful.
