5af7de3fe3 Updated the section on Types.
Moved assignment compatibility to its own small section. Although most rules are type-specific,
some are not and it reduces redundancy to combine them.
Also, more experimentally, wrote a section on comparison compatibility.

a329471ced A first attempt to capture the type changes.
Instead of trying to make open arrays look like arrays (which they aren't,
they just look like them), I decided to call them "slice types". As a result
they have value semantics, and one can really talk about what they really are.

Note:
- There are lots of missing details
- There are probably lots of mistakes

Looking for some initial feedback.

7231ceb714 Proposal for new function type syntax as suggested by ken:
- removed "func" from function type
- make it work by changing composite literal syntax to use {} instead of ()

FunctionType is now more in line with the rest of the declarations, as the
keyword "func" is now really part of the declaration and not part of the type.

df49fb3dc3 - Preliminary draft of what might become a real spec
- All text taken from go_lang.txt (which is unchanged),
but added a contents section, and sorted the contents
section in a hopefully sensible manner to give it more
structure
- Reordered text to match order of contents section,
did not adjust the language (needs to be done),
but removed sections that were dulicates or invalid

High-level organization of the doc:
- Introduction
- Notation
- Source code representation
- Vocabulary
- Declarations and scope rules
- Types
- Expressions
- Statements
- Function declarations
- Packages
- Program initialization and execution

I hope this new structure will make it much clearer which
pieces are missing and where they need to go. go_lang.txt
has grown somewhat unstructured and new text was added as
we saw fit.

d222c65477 Introduced forward declaration of types per discussion with ken.
A forward-declared (or not yet fully defined) type must be used
to construct (mutually) recursive type declarations. This simplifies
the compiler and resolves the issue at which scope the forward-
declared type is to be declared.

0d1e90be17 - added 'nil' keyword to lang doc
(did not add 'true' and 'false' because I think these don't need to be
  keywords, they can be recreated from whole cloth)
- added 'new' syntax to expressions
  (this is needed because of the type as 1st argument - the expression
  list is probably not yet implemented, but I think we may want it
  eventually)
- removed optional ';'s in sieve example - make it more concise
- fixed several bugs in go.atg, no parses sieve
- added sieve as test case
