Robert Griesemer 80d8b69e95 [dev.typealias] go/types: implement type aliases
Now a TypeName is just that: a name for a type (not just Named and Basic types
as before). If it happens to be an alias, its type won't be a Named or Basic type,
or it won't have the same name. We can determine this externally.

It may be useful to provide a helper predicate to make that test easily accessible,
but we can get to that if there's an actual need.

The field/method lookup code has become more general an simpler, which is a good sign.
The changes in methodset.go are symmetric to the changes in lookup.go.

Known issue: Cycles created via alias types are not properly detected at the moment.

For #18130.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
