type any = interface{}

// comparable is an interface that is implemented by all comparable types
// (booleans, numbers, strings, pointers, channels, arrays of comparable types,
// structs whose fields are all comparable types).
// The comparable interface may only be used as a type parameter constraint,
// not as the type of a variable.
type comparable interface{ comparable }

### New unique package

The new [unique](/pkg/unique) package provides facilities for
canonicalizing values (like "interning" or "hash-consing").

Any value of comparable type may be canonicalized with the new
`Make[T]` function, which produces a reference to a canonical copy of
the value in the form of a `Handle[T]`.
Two `Handle[T]` are equal if and only if the values used to produce the
handles are equal, allowing programs to deduplicate values and reduce

[]byte                       // does not implement comparable (slices cannot be compared)
interface{}                  // does not implement comparable (see above)
interface{ ~int | ~string }  // type parameter only: implements comparable (int, string types are strictly comparable)
interface{ comparable }      // type parameter only: implements comparable (comparable implements itself)

	</li>

	<li>
	Struct values are comparable if all their fields are comparable.
	Two struct values are equal if their corresponding
	non-<a href="#Blank_identifier">blank</a> fields are equal.
	</li>

	<li>
	Array values are comparable if values of the array element type are comparable.
	Two array values are equal if their corresponding elements are equal.
	</li>
</ul>
