The Go programming language

This change causes Print et al. to catch panics generated by calls to String, GoString, and Format. The panic is formatted into the output stream as an error, but the program continues. As a special case, if the argument was a nil pointer, the result is just "<nil>", because that's almost certainly enough information and handles the very common case of String methods that don't guard against nil. Scan does not want this change. Input must work; output can be for debugging and it's nice to get output even when you make a mistake.

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.
