The Go programming language

This is more useful than panicking, since otherwise every caller needs to do the length check before calling; some will forget, and have a potential submarine crasher as a result. Other implementations of this functionality do a length check. This is backward compatible, except if someone has written code that relies on this panicking with different length args. However, that was not the case before Go 1.3 either. Updates #7304. LGTM=agl R=agl, minux, hanwen CC=golang-codereviews https://golang.org/cl/118750043 |

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 README). 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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
