+
+  Functions containing closures can now be inlined. One effect of this change is
+  that a function with a closure may actually produce a distinct closure function
+  for each place that the function is inlined. Hence, this change could reveal
+  bugs where Go functions are compared (incorrectly) by pointer value. Go
+  functions are by definition not comparable.
