Russ Cox 8e38b17a90 spec: apply method sets, embedding to all types, not just named types
When we first wrote the method set definition, we had long
discussions about whether method sets applied to all types
or just named types, and we (or at least I) concluded that it
didn't matter: the two were equivalent points of view, because
the only way to introduce a new method was to write a method
function, which requires a named receiver type.

However, the addition of embedded types changed this.
Embedding can introduce a method without writing an explicit
method function, as in:

        var x struct {
                sync.Mutex
        }

        var px *struct {
                sync.Mutex
        }

        var _, _ sync.Locker = &x, px

The edits in this CL make clear that both &x and px satisfy
sync.Locker.  Today, gccgo already works this way; 6g does not.

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.
