Specific types were introduced to explain rules for operands of
type parameter type. Specific types are really an implementation
mechanism to represent (possibly infinite) type sets in the machine;
they are not needed in the specification.
A specific type is either standing for a single named or unnamed
type, or it is the underlying (unnamed) type of an infinite set of
types. Each rule that applies to a type T of the set of specific
types must also apply to all types T' in the type set for which T
is a representative of. Thus, in the spec we can simply refer to
the type set directly, infinite or not.
Rather then excluding operands with empty type sets in each instance,
leave unspecified what happens when such an operand is used. Instead
give an implementation some leeway with an implementation restriction.
(The implementation restriction also needs to be formulated for types,
such as in conversions, which technically are not "operands". Left for
another CL.)
Minor: Remove the two uses of the word "concrete" to refer to non-
interface types; instead just say "non-interface type" for clarity.

Type inference for types was always a "nice to have" feature.
Given the under-appreciated complexity of making it work in all
cases, and the fact that we don't have a good understanding of
how it might affect readability of generic code, require explicit
type arguments for generic types.
This matches the current implementation.

This change only shuffles sections for better organization; there
are no other changes except title and link adjustments.
Until now, the sections on underlying types and method sets were
immediately following the introduction of types. As it becomes
necessary to introduce the notion of a core type more centrally,
the natural place is immediately following the section on underlying
types. All together, these sections, immediately after the introduction
of types, would distract from purpose of the section on types, which
is to introduce the various types that Go offers.
The more natural place for the definition of underlying, core, and
specific types is the section on properties of types and values.
To accomplish this, the section on the structure of interfaces is
split into a section on core types and one on specific types, and
the various sections are reorganized appropriately.
The new organization of the section on types now simply introduces
all Go types as follows:
- boolean types
- numeric types
- string types
- array types
- slice types
- struct types
- pointer types
- function types
- interface types
- map types
- channel types
- type parameters
The new organization of the section on properties of types and values
is as follows:
- underlying types
- core types
- specific types
- type identity
- assignability
- representability
- method sets
