+// The parser accepts a larger language than is syntactically permitted by
+// the Go spec, for simplicity, and for improved robustness in the presence
+// of syntax errors. For instance, in method declarations, the receiver is
+// treated like an ordinary parameter list and thus may contain multiple
+// entries where the spec permits exactly one. Consequently, the corresponding
+// field in the AST (ast.FuncDecl.Recv) field is not restricted to one entry.
