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.

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.

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

- in the ,ok form, the 2nd result is of type bool, not
just boolean (gc and ggcgo agree).

- Define what it means for two identifiers to be unique.
- The current spec is incorrect about exported
identifiers: for instance, it excluded fields
of non-exported types of exported variables
from being exported. It is easier to leave
the detailed specification away and let the
rest of the spec govern access of exported
identifiers.
- The current spec is incorrect about qualified
identifiers: It simply required that an identifier
be exported to be valid in a qualified identifier.
However, qualified identifiers can only access
exported identifiers declared in the package
block of the imported package.
Fixes#1551.

When we first wrote the method set definition, we had long
discussions about whether method sets applied to all types
or just named types, and we (or at least I) concluded that it
didn't matter: the two were equivalent points of view, because
the only way to introduce a new method was to write a method
function, which requires a named receiver type.
However, the addition of embedded types changed this.
Embedding can introduce a method without writing an explicit
method function, as in:
var x struct {
sync.Mutex
}
var px *struct {
sync.Mutex
}
var _, _ sync.Locker = &x, px
The edits in this CL make clear that both &x and px satisfy
sync.Locker. Today, gccgo already works this way; 6g does not.

Drop reference to "machine type." Specify that integer
overflow must be an error. Drop requirement that exponent
must be 128 bits--that's a lot. Clarify that floating point
expressions may be rounded, including intermediate values.
This is a reworking of https://golang.org/cl/5577068/ .
