When code defines a method on T,
the compiler generates a corresponding wrapper method on *T.
The first thing the wrapper does is check whether
the pointer is nil and if so, call panicwrap.
This is done to provide a useful error message.
The existing implementation gets its information
from arguments set up by the compiler.
However, with some trouble, this information can
be extracted from the name of the wrapper method itself.
Removing the arguments to panicwrap simplifies and
shrinks the wrapper method.
It also means that the call to panicwrap does not
require any stack space.
This enables a further optimization on amd64/x86,
which is to skip the function prologue if nothing
else in the method requires stack space.
This is frequently the case in simple, hot methods,
such as Less and Swap in sort.Interface implementations.
