The type checker does not currently report the set of pairs of
types that are tested for assignability (though gri and I
agree that it should). This information is useful for many
applications. For example, refactoring tool needs to know the
minimal set of interface satisfaction constraints that must be
preserved during a refactoring.
This package is a stopgap measure to deduce the same
information using another pass. Unlike go/types, it is not
robust against inputs containing type errors.

The Uses, Defs and Scope information provided by go/types is
inadequate for answering "what if?" queries about the
structure of the lexical environment.
In this code, for example,
var x int
func f() {
print(x)
x := ""
print(x)
}
the two referring Idents x appear at the same lexical depth,
inside the function f's Scope object, yet they resolve to
different objects.
This package associates a lexical.Environment instance with
every reference to capture these differences. Each
environment is a linked list of enclosing Blocks, and for each
block, a number indicating what prefix of its bindings are
visible. (Zero for the first 'x' reference above, 1 for the
second.)
+ Smoke test over stdlib.
This functionality could be integrated with the type checker
in lieu of the not-so-useful types.Info.Scopes data, at little
extra cost in code or in running time/space. We should talk
about that.

Nodes in a strongly connected component (which includes most
stdlib packages) appear in results of both "forward" and
"reverse" searches from any other node in the same SCC.

This CL is the first refactoring automated by "gorename". :)
Though I had to update the comments and run 'hg gofmt'. :(

Refactoring tools can use this to determine an upper bound on
the set of packages potentially affected by a refactoring.

LookupFieldOrMethod now also decides whether a found
method is actually in the method set. Simplifies call
sites. Added corresponding API tests.
TODO (separate CL): Decide what the correct value for
the indirect result should be (as required for code
generation). For now, the result value for indirect
is unchanged from before if a field/method is found.
Fixesgolang/go#8584.

e.g. chmod +w, checkout.
Also: add a TIPS section to the documentation.

PackageInfo:
- deleted IsType
- inlined + deleted: ValueOf, TypeCaseVar, ImportSpecPkg
- on failure, TypeOf accessor now returns nil (was: panic)
go/ssa: avoid extra map lookups by using Uses or Defs directly when safe to do so,
and keeping the TypeAndValue around in expr0().
