Peter Collingbourne bcd5efa0ef go/types: make import check optional via a flag in types.Config
It is sometimes useful for API clients to be able to disable the unused
import check, although for good reason this should not be exposed as part of
a user-facing interface. There are at least two use cases that I am aware of:

1) It allows for automated test case reduction tools such as delta or C-Reduce
   to be more easily applied to type checker input. Disabling the check
   makes it possible for the tool to identify and remove code that depends
   on imported packages without any specific knowledge of Go, as the import
   need not be removed simultaneously with the code.

2) Interactive tools (such as REPLs) that may have previously received a
   list of imports and subsequently receive a line of code that may use any
   number of these imports. It is simpler for such tools to import all the
   packages in its list than to try to identify the correct set of imports.

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support
the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.
Others, including the Go oracle and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with "go get".

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the
Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.
