New in Go 1 will be nanosecond precision in the result of time.Now on Linux.
This will break code that stores time in external formats at microsecond
precision, reads it back, and expects to get exactly the same time.
Code like that can be fixed by using time.Now().Round(time.Microsecond)
instead of time.Now() in those contexts.

This changes the output of
rand.Seed(0)
perm := rand.Perm(100)
When giving the same seeds to Go 1.0 and Go 1.1 programs
I would like them to generate the same random numbers.
««« original CL description
math/rand: remove noop iteration in Perm
The first iteration always do `m[0], m[0] = m[0], m[0]`, because
`rand.Intn(1)` is 0.
fun note: IIRC in TAOCP version of this algorithm, `i` goes
backward (n-1->1), meaning that the "already" shuffled part of the
array is never altered betweens iterations, while in the current
implementation the "not-yet" shuffled part of the array is
conserved between iterations.

gotype can now handle much of the standard library.
- marked packages which have type checker issues
- this CL depends on CL 6846131

Also:
- better handling of type assertions
- implemented built-in error type
- first cut at handling variadic function signatures
- several bug fixes

The spec didn't preclude invalid type assertions and
type switches, i.e., cases where a concrete type doesn't
implement the interface type in the assertion in the first
place. Both, the gc and gccgo compiler exclude these cases.
This is documenting the status quo.
Also:
- minor clean up of respective examples
- added sentence about default case in select statements
Fixes#4472.

The fixjmp step eliminates redundant chains of JMP
instructions that are produced by the compiler during
code generation.
It is already implemented in gc, and can be adapted to 6c/8c with
the exception that JMPs refer to destination by pc instead of by
pointer. The algorithm is modified to operate on Regs instead of Progs
for this reason. The pcs are already restored later by regopt.

The 0-length part is fine, but some callers that write 0 bytes
also pass nil as the data pointer, and the Plan 9 kernel kills the
process with 'invalid address in sys call' in that case.

Per the curl man page, the http_proxy configuration can be
of the form:
[protocol://]<host>[:port]
And we had a test that <ip>:<port> worked, but if
the host began with a letter, url.Parse parsed the hostname
as the scheme instead, confusing ProxyFromEnvironment.

issue4251.go:12: inverted slice range

issue4251.go:16: constant -1 overflows uint64
issue4251.go:20: inverted slice range

With this patch, only gives the "inverted slice range" errors.

Fixes#4396.
For fixed arrays larger than the unmapped page, agenr would general a nil check by loading the first word of the array. However there is no requirement for the first element of a byte array to be word aligned, so this check causes a trap on ARMv5 hardware (ARMv6 since relaxed that restriction, but it probably still comes at a cost).
Switching the check to MOVB ensures alignment is not an issue. This check is only invoked in a few places in the code where large fixed arrays are embedded into structs, compress/lzw is the biggest offender, and switching to MOVB has no observable performance penalty.
Thanks to Rémy and Daniel Morsing for helping me debug this on IRC last night.

The current spec says that when calling make, if both len and
cap are constant, it is an error if len > cap. The gc
compiler does not yet implement that, but when it does this
will need to change. Changing it now for the benefit of
gccgo.

Using append simplifies the code and makes it work if
the initial capacity of the slice is smaller than the
number of items pushed.

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.

The debian/kFreeBSD project uses the FreeBSD kernel and the debian userspace. From our point of view, this is freebsd not linux as GOOS talks about the kernel syscall interface, not the userspace (although cgo alters that). As debian/kFreeBSD is experimental at this time, I do not think it is worth the effort of duplicating all the freebsd specific code so this is proposal represents a reasonable workaround.
Currently cgo is not supported, make.bash will detect this and disable cgo automatically during the build.

The compiler was confused when inlining a T.Method(f()) call
where f returns multiple values: support for this was marked
as TODO.
Variadic calls are not supported but are not inlined either.
Add a test preventively for that case.
