Brad Fitzpatrick 703a9baf5c builtin: use type aliases for rune and byte ... As motivated by https://golang.org/design/18130-type-alias which says: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/18130-type-alias.md#relationship-to-byte-and-rune > The language specification already defines byte as an alias for > uint8 and similarly rune as an alias for int32, using the word alias > as an informal term. It is a goal that the new type declaration > semantics not introduce a different meaning for alias. That is, it > should be possible to describe the existing meanings of byte and > uint8 by saying that they behave as if predefined by: > > type byte = uint8 > type rune = int32 So, do that. Seems to work.
