+      The new

+      package parses build constraint lines, both the original
+      <code>// +build</code> syntax and the <code>//go:build</code>
+      syntax that will be introduced in Go 1.17.
+      This package exists so that tools built with Go 1.16 will be able
+      to process Go 1.17 source code.
+      See <a href="https://golang.org/design/draft-gobuild">https://golang.org/design/draft-gobuild</a>
+      for details about the build constraint syntaxes and the planned
+      transition to the <code>//go:build</code> syntax.
+      Note that <code>//go:build</code> lines are <b>not</b> supported
+      in Go 1.16 and should not be introduced into Go programs yet.
