Rob Pike 2ee82edfc2 cmd/doc: show documentation for interface methods when requested explicitly
For historical reasons, the go/doc package does not include
the methods within an interface as part of the documented
methods for that type. Thus,

	go doc ast.Node.Pos

gives an incorrect and confusing error message:

	doc: no method Node.Pos in package go/ast

This CL does some dirty work to dig down to the methods
so interface methods now present their documentation:

% go doc ast.node.pos
func Pos() token.Pos  // position of first character belonging to the node
%

It must largely sidestep the doc package to do this, which
is a shame. Perhaps things will improve there one day.

The change does not handle embeddings, and in principle the
same approach could be done for struct fields, but that is also
not here yet. But this CL fixes the thing that was bugging me.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
