The new type [KeepAliveConfig] permits fine-tuning the keep-alive
options for TCP connections, via a new [TCPConn.SetKeepAliveConfig]

library packages begin with a dotless path element.

The module requirements of std and cmd do not influence version
selection in other modules. They are only considered when running
module commands like 'go get' and 'go mod vendor' from a directory
in GOROOT/src.

Maintaining vendor directories
==============================

Before updating vendor directories, ensure that module mode is enabled.

### New unique package

The new [unique](/pkg/unique) package provides facilities for
canonicalizing values (like "interning" or "hash-consing").

Any value of comparable type may be canonicalized with the new
`Make[T]` function, which produces a reference to a canonical copy of
the value in the form of a `Handle[T]`.
Two `Handle[T]` are equal if and only if the values used to produce the
handles are equal, allowing programs to deduplicate values and reduce

poll the length to decide whether a receive on the timer channel
will succeed.
Such code should use a non-blocking receive instead.

These new behaviors are only enabled when the main Go program
is in a module with a `go.mod` `go` line using Go 1.23.0 or later.
When Go 1.23 builds older programs, the old behaviors remain in effect.
The new [GODEBUG setting](/doc/godebug) [`asynctimerchan=1`](/pkg/time/#NewTimer)

The files should be in the subdirectory for the package with the new
API, and should be named after the issue number of the API proposal.
For example, if the directory `6-stdlib/99-minor` is present,
then an `api/next` file with the line

    pkg net/http, function F #12345

should have a corresponding file named `doc/next/6-stdlib/99-minor/net/http/12345.md`.
At a minimum, that file should contain either a full sentence or a TODO,

Errors returned by [driver.Valuer] implementations are now wrapped for
improved error handling during operations like [DB.Query], [DB.Exec],
