Currently the packages have the following index functions:
func Index(s, sep []byte) int
func IndexAny(s []byte, chars string) int
func IndexByte(s []byte, c byte) int
func IndexFunc(s []byte, f func(r rune) bool) int
func IndexRune(s []byte, r rune) int
func LastIndex(s, sep []byte) int
func LastIndexAny(s []byte, chars string) int
func LastIndexFunc(s []byte, f func(r rune) bool) int
Searching for the last occurrence of a byte is quite common
for string parsing algorithms (e.g. find the last paren on a line).
Also addition of LastIndexByte makes the set more orthogonal.

As noted on recently on golang-nuts, there's currently no way to know
the total size of a strings.Reader or bytes.Reader when using ReadAt
on them. Most callers resort to wrapping it in an io.SectionReader to
retain that information.
The SizeReaderAt abstraction (an io.ReaderAt with a Size() int64
method) has proven useful as a way of expressing a concurrency-safe
read-only number of bytes.
As one example, see http://talks.golang.org/2013/oscon-dl.slide#49 and
the rest of that presentation for its use in dl.google.com.
SizeReaderAt is also used in the open source google-api-go-client, and
within Google's internal codebase, where it exists in a public package
created in 2013 with the package comment: "These may migrate to the
standard library after we have enough experience with their feel."
I'm still as happy with the SizeReaderAt abstraction and its
composabilty as I was in 2013, so I'd like to make these two Readers
also be SizeReaderAts.

Obtaining the actual size of the underlying storage of the buffer can
be very useful in various scenarios. Long running programs which write
and read large amounts of data to buffers might have to recycle
buffers in order to avoid holding onto potentially huge buffers.
For example, a piece of code which buffers a lot of data in a buffer
might need to release the big buffer and start again with a smaller
buffer after it finished processing the huge amount of data.
In cases where pools of bytes.Buffer are used, being able to check the
size of the allocated data can be very useful.
Instead of forking bytes.Buffer or writing new code, we can export the
Cap() method.

Not sure why they used empty.s and all these other
packages were special cased in cmd/go instead.
Add them to the list.
This avoids problems with net .s files being compiled
with gcc in cgo mode and gcc not supporting // comments
on ARM.
Not a problem with bytes, but be consistent.
The last change fixed the ARM build but broke the Windows build.
Maybe *this* will make everyone happy. Sigh.
