The original implementation of closures created the
underlying top-level function during walk, which is fairly
late in the compilation process and caused ordering-based
complications due to earlier stages that had to be repeated
any number of times.

Create the underlying function during typecheck, much
earlier, so that later stages can be run just once.

The result is a simpler compilation sequence.

The recent shuffle in parsing formats exposed probably unintentional
behavior in time.Parse, namely that it was mostly ignoring ".99999"
in the format, producing the following behavior:

fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999 MST", "12:00:00.888 PDT")) // error (.888 unexpected)
fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999", "12:00:00")) // error (input too short)
fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999 MST", "12:00:00 PDT"))  // ok (extra bytes on input make it ok)

http://play.golang.org/p/ESJ1UYXzq2

API CHANGE:

This CL makes all three examples valid: ".999" can match an
empty string or else a fractional second with at most nine digits.

Fixes #3701.

An attempt to profit from CL 6176043 (fix to superpolinomial
runtime of karatsuba multiplication) and determine a better
karatsuba threshold. The result indicates that 32 is still
a reasonable value. Left the threshold as is (== 32), but
made some minor changes to the calibrate code which are
worthwhile saving (use of existing benchmarking code for
better results, better use of package time).

      We can't depend on init() order, and certainly we don't want to
register all future benchmarks that use jsonbytes or jsondata to init()
in json_test.go, so we use a more general solution: make generation of
jsonbytes and jsondata their own function so that the compiler will take
care of the order.
