Strings happen to be represented similarly to
byte slices internally, but they don't quite
behave like them: While strings can be indexed,
sliced, and have their len() taken like byte
slices, string elements are not addressable,
make() and cap() is not supported, range loops
operate differently, and they are immutable (and
thus behave like values rather then references).
Fixes#4018.

This change messes with anchor links. It obscures the item being linked to.
I don't see a way around it. Undoing for now.
Fixes#4071.
««« original CL description
doc css: topbar sticks to the top of large windows.
Rationale: for large screens, the convenience of not having to scroll
to the top of the page to do a search outweighs having less vertical
space.
Tested with Chrome, Firefox, Safari with various window and text sizes.

The (and not) arguably sounds like it is trying to say something - and not what?.
Just an idea, won't be hurt if it gets rejected.

A race between
a = "hello, world"
and
print(a)
is not guaranteed to print either "hello, world" or "".
Its behaviour is undefined.
Fixes#4039.

After further deliberation, let's back down to the Unicode proposal.
Ignoring aBOMinations anywhere means that things like
grep unsafe *.go
might fail because there's a BOM in the middle: unBOMsafe.

cgo[1-4].go, go1.go couldn't be tested now

No changes to the meaning, just clearer language and more
examples, including illegal rune and string literals.
In particular, "character literal" and "character constant"
are now called "rune literal" and "rune constant" and the
word "character" always refers to the source text, not
program values.

- point out difference between selectors and qualified identifiers
- differentiate between illegal selectors and run-time panics
- use "indirect" as opposed to "dereference" consistently
- add extra links
Fixes#3779.

- receiving from a closed channel returns immediately
- in the ,ok form, the 2nd result is of type bool, not
just boolean (gc and ggcgo agree).
Per dsymonds' suggestion.
