To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.

Equality on structs will require arbitrary code for type equality,
so change algorithm in type data from uint8 to table pointer.
In the process, trim top-level map structure from
104/80 bytes (64-bit/32-bit) to 24/12.
Equality on structs will require being able to call code generated
by the Go compiler, and C code has no way to access Go return
values, so change the hash and equal algorithm functions to take
a pointer to a result instead of returning the result.

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.

Godefs was a C program that ran gcc and then parsed the

Cgo does the same work, but using the dwarf debugging

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.

Back then, every x.go file in a package became an x.6 file
in the archive. It was important to be able to allow the
use of long Go source file names, hence the increase in size.
Today, all Go source files compile into a single _go_.6 file
regardless of their names, so the archive file name length
no longer needs to be long. The longer name causes some
problems on Plan 9, where the native archive format is the
same but with 16-byte names, so revert back to 16.

goinstall has built in support for a few common code hosting sites. The
identification of which vcs tool should be used was based purely on a
regex match against the provided import path. The problem with this
approach is that it requires distinct import paths for different vcs
tools on the same site.
Since bitbucket has recently starting hosting Git repositories under the
same bitbucket.org/user/project scheme as it already hosts Mercurial
repositories, now would seem a good time to take a more flexible
approach.
We still match the import path against a list of regexes, but now the
match is purely to distinguish the different hosting sites. Once the
site is identified, the specified function is called with the repo and
path matched out of the import string. This function is responsible for
creating the vcsMatch structure that tells us what we need to download
the code.
For github and launchpad, only one vcs tool is currently supported, so
these functions can simply return a vcsMatch structure. For googlecode,
we retain the behaviour of determing the vcs from the import path - but
now it is done by the function instead of the regex. For bitbucket, we
use api.bitbucket.org to find out what sort of repository the specified
import path corresponds to - and then construct the appropriate vcsMatch
structure.

Change the name of cas() in cc to newcase() to avoid a NIX conflict.
cas() is used in cc to create a new Case struct. There is a name
conflict in that cas() is a commonly-used
name for compare and swap. Since cas() is only used internally
in the compiler in 3 places, change the name to avoid a wider
conflict with the NIX runtime. This issue might well come up on
other OSes in the future anyway, as the name is fairly common.

Adds check that, for example, a Scan method taking
a first argument of type fmt.ScanState has the correct
signature to satisfy fmt.Scanner.
Similarly, a ReadByte should return byte, os.Error.
These are important to check because various pieces
of code (fmt, gob, json, flate) do dynamic checks
for these methods, so code with incorrect signatures
would not be flagged at compile time.
These become even more important to check when
