The strikes against it are:

1. It does not take path boundaries into account.
2. It assumes that Windows==case-insensitive file system
and non-Windows==case-sensitive file system, neither of
which is always true.
3. Comparing ToLower against ToLower is not a correct
implementation of a case-insensitive string comparison.
4. If it returns true on Windows you still don't know how long
the matching prefix is in bytes, so you can't compute what
the suffix is.

In -test.short mode, skip measuring the upper bound of time
sleeps. The API only guarantees minimum bounds on sleeps,
anyway, so this isn't a bug we're ignoring as much as it is
simply observing bad builder virtualization and/or loaded
machines.

We keep the test in full mode where developers will
presumably be running on a lightly-loaded, native, fast
machine.

When we first wrote the method set definition, we had long
discussions about whether method sets applied to all types
or just named types, and we (or at least I) concluded that it
didn't matter: the two were equivalent points of view, because
the only way to introduce a new method was to write a method
function, which requires a named receiver type.

However, the addition of embedded types changed this.
Embedding can introduce a method without writing an explicit
method function, as in:

        var x struct {
                sync.Mutex
        }

        var px *struct {
                sync.Mutex
        }

        var _, _ sync.Locker = &x, px

The edits in this CL make clear that both &x and px satisfy
sync.Locker.  Today, gccgo already works this way; 6g does not.

They are broken and hard to make work.

They have never worked: if you import "/tmp/x"
from "/home/rsc/p.c" then the compiler rewrites
this into import "/home/rsc/tmp/x", which is
clearly wrong.

Also we just disallowed the : character in import
paths, so import "c:/foo" is already not allowed.

Finally, in order to support absolute paths well in
a build tool we'd have to provide a mechanism to
instruct the compiler to resolve absolute imports
by looking in some other tree (where the binaries live)
and provide a mapping from absolute path to location
in that tree.  This CL avoids adding that complexity.

This is not part of the language spec (and should not be),
so no spec change is needed.

If we need to make them work later, we can.

This CL mostly deletes code.

Using existing position information is
just as good to determine if a new section
is needed; no need to track exact multi-
line information. Eliminates the need to
carry around a multiLine parameter with
practically every function.

Applied gofmt -w src misc resulting in only
a minor change to godoc.go. In return, a couple
of test cases are now formatted better.

Not Go1-required, but nice-to-have as it will
simplify fixes going forward.
