This is true of the existing implementations, and I think
it is an important property to guarantee.

This is not a language change.
Added paragraphs specifying which conversions
yield results that are constants.

This is (indirectly) a language change. Per e-mail discussion
on golang-dev.
Fixes#1943.

- Added some additional examples.
- 6g appears to implement this semantics already.
Fixes#658.

Note: This is not a spec change.
The spec was not clear on the result type of
constant shift expressions. Made it more
explicit and added additional examples.
Also: Remove paragraph on send expressions (they
are statements, now).
Fixes#1708.

This CL proposes some subtle language changes
in an attempt to clarify the semantics of range
clauses and simplify uses of maps.
- nil maps behave like empty maps; but attempting
to set a value in a nil map causes a run-time panic
- nil channels are never ready for communication;
sending or reading from a nil channel blocks forever
- if there is only one index iteration variable in a
range clause and len(range expression) would be a constant,
the range expression is not evaluated.
(was discrepancy with len/cap before)
- the notion of what is a constant expression len(x)
for (pointer to) arrays x has been generalized and
simplified (can still be syntactically decided)
(before: more restrictive syntactic rule that was not
consistently implemented)
Fixes#1713.

No language change.
- added a few examples with parentheses
- added a corresponding sentence to assignments
(this explicitly permits: (_) = 0, currently allowed by 6g,
gofmt, but marked as an error by gccgo).

The CL introduces inconsistencies with respect to
the use of parentheses/grouping of receive operations.

Computer people have an agglutinating streak that I like to resist.
As a time of execution: run time.
As an adjective: run-time.
As a noun: run-time support/code/library.

- added an example to Type declarations section clarifying the
situation brought up with issue 1324
- slightly re-ordered paragraphs in Types section
- added separate heading for method set section and refer to it
from elsewhere in the spec
- no language changes

Removed most of the detailed examples about handing panics
from the go spec since it's now covered by Effective Go.
