Updates for Generics

+ +

+ The vet tool is updated to support generic code. In most cases, + it reports an error in generic code whenever it would report an error in the + equivalent non-generic code after substituting for type parameters with a + type from their + type set. + + For example, vet reports a format error in + 

func Print[T ~int|~string](t T) {
+	fmt.Printf("%d", t)
+}
+ because it would report a format error in the non-generic equivalent of + Print[string]: + 
func PrintString(x string) {
+	fmt.Printf("%d", x)
+}
+
