and we want to preserve the ability to compile pure Go code that
imports net without requiring gcc to be present at link time. (In this
case, the dynamic library requirement is less significant, because the
only library involved is libc.so, which can usually be assumed
present.)

This conflict between functionality and the gcc requirement means we

spaces) and may also exclude the characters

and the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD.

Assume we have compiled a package containing the package clause
<code>package math</code>, which exports function <code>Sin</code>, and
installed the compiled package in the file identified by
<code>"lib/math"</code>.

	// In order to avoid breaking readers without UTF-8 support,
	// we avoid setting the UTF-8 flag if the strings are CP-437 compatible.
	// However, if the strings require multibyte UTF-8 encoding and is a
	// valid UTF-8 string, then we set the UTF-8 bit.
	//
	// For the case, where the user explicitly wants to specify the encoding

// to avoid misleading negative results.
// This makes all the references to os.FileInfo in go1.txt
// be read as if they said fs.FileInfo, since os.FileInfo is now an alias.
// If there are many of these, we could do a more general solution,
// but for now the replacer is fine.
var aliasReplacer = strings.NewReplacer(
	"os.FileInfo", "fs.FileInfo",
	"os.FileMode", "fs.FileMode",
	"os.PathError", "fs.PathError",

(discussed below).

When preparing any change that is permitted by Go 1 compatibility
but may nonetheless break some existing programs,
we first engineer the change to keep as many existing programs working as possible.
For the remaining programs,
we define a new GODEBUG setting that
allows individual programs to opt back in to the old behavior.
A GODEBUG setting may not be added if doing so is infeasible,

[T int|string]               // = [T interface{int|string}]
type Constraint ~int         // illegal: ~int is not in a type parameter list
</pre>

<!--
We should be able to simplify the rules for comparable or delegate some of them
elsewhere since we have a section that clearly defines how interfaces implement
other interfaces based on their type sets. But this should get us going for now.
