Rob Pike 8b0b994c08 reflect: improve documentation of IsNil
IsNil isn't quite the same as == nil, as this snippet shows:

// http://play.golang.org/p/huomslDZgw
package main

import "fmt"
import "reflect"

func main() {
        var i interface{}
        v := reflect.ValueOf(i)
        fmt.Println(v.IsValid(), i == nil)
        fmt.Println(v.IsNil())
}

The fact that IsNil panics if you call it with an untyped nil
was not apparent. Verbiage added for clarity.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

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

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

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.
