Also:
- 'for' statements with a range clause do not accept send-only
channels
- '_, _ = range ch' is not equivalent to "_ = range ch" if ch
is a channel (rewriting the latter to the former leads to
an invalid range clause).
These clarifications document the status quo.

1) Built-ins are restricted like for expression statements.
This documents the status quo.
2) Calls cannot be parenthesized. The spec is not clear. gccgo
permits it already, gc doesn't. Be explicit in the spec.

We have the notion of a PackageName, not package identifier.
As is, it could construed that imports that rename a package
don't have an "imported package identifier" but a local one.

Do not skip the first symbol in the symbol table. Any other indexes
into the symbol table (for example, indexes in relocation entries)
will now refer to the symbol following the one that was intended.
Add an object that contains debug relocations, which debug/dwarf
failed to decode correctly. Extend the relocation tests to cover
this case.
Note that the existing tests passed since the symbol following the
symbol that required relocation is also of type STT_SECTION.
Fixes#4107.

This is an attempt at making the interaction between
these three constructs clearer. Specifically:
- return statements terminate a function, execute deferred
functions, return to the caller, and then execution
continues after the call
- panic calls terminate a function, execute deferred
functions, return to the caller, and then re-panic
- deferred functions are executed before a function _returns_
to its caller
The hope is that with this change it becomes clear when a
deferred function is executed (when a function returns),
and when it is not (when a program exits).

Both gc and gccgo always checked this for constant
expressions but the spec only mentions run-time
exceptions.
This CL also requires that constant divisors
must not be zero in non-constant integer expressions:
This is consistent with the spirit of the most
recent changes and it is consistent with constant
expressions. We don't want to specify the effect for
non-integer expressions (f/0.0 where f is a float or
complex number) because there the result f/g is not
further specified if a non-constant g is 0.

This is a language change: Until now, the spec required run-
time panics for some of these errors. Note that gc and gccgo
implemented this inconsistently, and that both compilers already
reported compile-time errors in some cases. This change makes
make() behave along the same vein as index expressions.
This addresses the spec aspect of issue 4085.

At the moment, gc and gccgo report compile-
time errors for certain constant indexes that
are out of bounds. The spec however requests
a run-time panic for out-of-bounds indexes
(http://tip.golang.org/ref/spec#Indexes).
Document the status quo.
Fixes#4231.

2. mention you need to use an application specific password
if you're using 2-step verification

Also: Be explicit what operator means with respect to conversion types.
The parenthesis requirement is a language change. At the moment,
literal function types in conversions that cannot possibly be
followed by a '(' don't need parentheses. For instance:
func(int)int(x) -> same as (func(int)int)(x)
func()()(x) -> same as (func())(x)
but:
func(int)(x) -> could be func(int)x {...}
