Rob Pike 5d9064697b gob: allow exchange of interface values
The implemetation describes each value as a string identifying the
concrete type of the value, followed by the usual encoding of that
value.  All types to be exchanged as contents of interface values
must be registered ahead of time with the new Register function.
Although this would not seem strictly necessary, the linker garbage
collects unused types so without some mechanism to guarantee
the type exists in the binary, there could be unpleasant surprises.
Moreover, the receiver needs a reflect.Type of the value to be
written in order to be able to save the data. A Register function
seems necessary.

The implementation may require defining types in the middle of
of sending a value.  The old code never did this. Therefore there
has been some refactoring to make the encoder and decoder
work recursively.

This change changes the internal type IDs. Existing gob archives
will break with this change.  Apologies for that. If this is a deal
breaker it should be possible to create a conversion tool.

Error handling is too complicated in this code. A subsequent
change should clean it up.

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.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 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.
