Making Value opaque means we can drop the interface kludges
in favor of a significantly simpler and faster representation.
v.Kind() will be a prime candidate for inlining too.
On a Thinkpad X201s using -benchtime 10:
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
json.BenchmarkCodeEncoder 284391780 157415960 -44.65%

json.BenchmarkSkipValue 24630036 18557062 -24.66%
benchmark old MB/s new MB/s speedup

json.BenchmarkCodeUnmarshalReuse 2.74 5.04 1.84x
json.BenchmarkSkipValue 77.92 103.42 1.33x
I cannot explain why BenchmarkSkipValue gets faster.
Maybe it is one of those code alignment things.

Fixes use of c after Dial failure (causes crash).
May fix Dial failure by listening to 127.0.0.1:0
instead of 0.0.0.0:0 (tests should only listen on
localhost).

The wrong length was being sent, and two parameters
were also transposed. Made the record type be a type
and made the constants typed, to prevent that sort
of bug in the future.

text/template does this (in an entirely different way), so
make html/template do the same. Before this fix, the template
{{.}} given a pointer to a string prints its address instead of its
value.

Ensure that empty NameLists always return
a zero length []string, not nil.
In practice NameLists are only used in a few
message types and always consumed by a for
range function so the difference between nil
and []string{} is not significant.
Also, add exp/ssh to pkg/Makefile as suggested
by rsc.

It's the only allocation in the test so it dominates

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.
Originally discussed in March 2011.

No need for creating a new nat each time.
Per Roger Peppe's suggestion; assuming

The environment is needed by package time, which
we want not to depend on os (so that os can use
time.Time), so push down into syscall.
Delete syscall.Sleep, now unnecessary.
The package os environment API is preserved;
it is only the implementation that is moving to syscall.
Delete os.Envs, which was undocumented,
uninitialized on Windows and Plan 9, and
not maintained by Setenv and Clearenv.
Code can call os.Environ instead.
