func panic(v any)

// The recover built-in function allows a program to manage behavior of a
// panicking goroutine. Executing a call to recover inside a deferred
// function (but not any function called by it) stops the panicking sequence
// by restoring normal execution and retrieves the error value passed to the
// call of panic. If recover is called outside the deferred function it will

For instance, if the deferred function is
a <a href="#Function_literals">function literal</a> and the surrounding
function has <a href="#Function_types">named result parameters</a> that
are in scope within the literal, the deferred function may access and modify
the result parameters before they are returned.

The [Repeat] function returns a new slice that repeats the

The [RuneLen] function returns the number of 16-bit words in
the UTF-16 encoding of the rune. It returns -1 if the rune

### 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

API, and should be named after the issue number of the API proposal.
For example, if the directory `6-stdlib/99-minor` is present,
then an `api/next` file with the line

    pkg net/http, function F #12345

should have a corresponding file named `doc/next/6-stdlib/99-minor/net/http/12345.md`.
At a minimum, that file should contain either a full sentence or a TODO,

when the function is invoked, not when the "defer" statement is executed.

The [Func] type, which represents a function or method symbol, now
has a [Func.Signature] method that returns the function's type, which

The [SliceAt(typ Type, p unsafe.Pointer, len int)] function
returns a Value representing a slice whose underlying array starts

The new [ParseCookie] function parses a Cookie header value and
returns all the cookies which were set in it. Since the same cookie
name can appear multiple times the returned Values can contain
more than one value for a given key.

The new [ParseSetCookie] function parses a Set-Cookie header value and
