On architectures with a hardware register named <code>SP</code>,
the name prefix distinguishes
references to the virtual stack pointer from references to the architectural
<code>SP</code> register.
That is, <code>x-8(SP)</code> and <code>-8(SP)</code>

interface, slice, map, and channel types—may be constructed using
type literals.

Predeclared types, defined types, and type parameters are called <i>named types</i>.
An alias denotes a named type if the type given in the alias declaration is a named type.
