needs no assembler pass in the usual pipeline.
Instead, the compiler operates on a kind of semi-abstract instruction set,
and instruction selection occurs partly after code generation.
The assembler works on the semi-abstract form, so
when you see an instruction like <code>MOV</code>
what the toolchain actually generates for that operation might
not be a move instruction at all, perhaps a clear or load.

correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime of that specification.
More generally, as adjustments are made and features added to the language,
the compatibility guarantee ensures that a Go program that works with a
specific Go language version will continue to work with any subsequent version.
