## For the release team

At the start of a release development cycle, the contents of `next` should be deleted
and replaced with those of `initial`. From the repo root:

    > cd doc
    > rm -r next/*
    > cp -r initial/* next

Then edit `next/1-intro.md` to refer to the next version.

				start = i

		}
		i += size
	}

	// Last field might end at EOF.
	if start >= 0 {
		spans = append(spans, span{start, len(s)})
	}

	// Create subslices from recorded field indices.
	a := make([][]byte, len(spans))
	for i, span := range spans {
		a[i] = s[span.start:span.end:span.end]
	}

	return a

// line consumes a single assembly line from p.lex of the form
//
//	{label:} WORD[.cond] [ arg {, arg} ] (';' | '\n')
//
// It adds any labels to p.pendingLabels and returns the word, cond,
// operand list, and true. If there is an error or EOF, it returns
// ok=false.
//
// line may reuse the memory from scratch.

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
their memory footprint.

between goroutines.  Each send on a particular channel
is matched to a corresponding receive from that channel,
usually in a different goroutine.

A send on a channel is synchronized before the completion of the

// readOldGNUSparseMap reads the sparse map from the old GNU sparse format.
// The sparse map is stored in the tar header if it's small enough.
// If it's larger than four entries, then one or more extension headers are used
// to store the rest of the sparse map.
//
// The Header.Size does not reflect the size of any extended headers used.
// Thus, this function will read from the raw io.Reader to fetch extra headers.

//
// In contrast to [Writer.CreateHeader], the bytes passed to Writer are not compressed.

// CreateRaw's argument is stored in w. If the argument is a pointer to the embedded
// [FileHeader] in a [File] obtained from a [Reader] created from in-memory data,
// then w will refer to all of that memory.
