//
// For some arguments, such as a string literal or a simple array expression, the
// result can be a constant. See the Go language specification's "Length and
// capacity" section for details.
func len(v Type) int

// The cap built-in function returns the capacity of v, according to its type:
//
//	Array: the number of elements in v (same as len(v)).
//	Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (same as len(v)).

passing a pointer to a field in a struct, the Go memory in question is
the memory occupied by the field, not the entire struct. When passing a
pointer to an element in an array or slice, the Go memory in question is
the entire array or the entire backing array of the slice.

C code may keep a copy of a Go pointer only as long as the memory it
points to is pinned.

C code may not keep a copy of a Go pointer after the call returns,

		fmt.Fprintf(buf, "[%d]", typ.Len())

	case *types.Slice:
		buf.WriteString("[]")
		w.writeType(buf, typ.Elem())

	case *types.Struct:
		buf.WriteString("struct")
