This allows a data item that can marshal itself to be transmitted by its own encoding, enabling some types to be handled that cannot be normally, plus providing a way to use gobs on data with unexported fields. In this CL, the necessary methods are protected by leading _, so only package gob can use the facilities (in its tests, of course); this code is not ready for real use yet. I could be talked into enabling it for experimentation, though. The main drawback is that the methods must be implemented by the actual type passed through, not by an indirection from it. For instance, if *T implements GobEncoder, you must send a *T, not a T. This will be addressed in due course. Also there is improved commentary and a couple of unrelated minor bug fixes.

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

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 README). 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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
