<p>
Slice expressions construct a substring or slice from a string, array, pointer
to array, or slice. There are two variants: a simple form that specifies a low
and high bound, and a full form that also specifies a bound on the capacity.

imported normally and vendored by the standard library.

Vendored packages are internally renamed with a "vendor/" prefix
to preserve the invariant that all packages have distinct paths.
This is necessary to avoid compiler and linker conflicts. Adding
a "vendor/" prefix also maintains the invariant that standard
library packages begin with a dotless path element.

The module requirements of std and cmd do not influence version

// fileState tracks the number of logical (includes sparse holes) and physical

// Invariant: logicalRemaining >= physicalRemaining

	logicalRemaining() int64
	physicalRemaining() int64
}

// allowedFormats determines which formats can be used.
