<p>
If the complex code needs many registers, a compiler for single-threaded programs
could discard <code>i</code> without saving a copy and then reload
<code>i = *p</code> just before
<code>funcs[i]()</code>.
A Go compiler must not, because the value of <code>*p</code> may have changed.
(Instead, the compiler could spill <code>i</code> to the stack.)

The <i>static type</i> (or just <i>type</i>) of a variable is the
type given in its declaration, the type provided in the
<code>new</code> call or composite literal, or the type of
an element of a structured variable.

In the general case, the frame size is followed by an argument size, separated by a minus sign.
(It's not a subtraction, just idiosyncratic syntax.)
The frame size <code>$24-8</code> states that the function has a 24-byte frame
and is called with 8 bytes of argument, which live on the caller's frame.
