+  ;; XXX Report to the users of this package, note from maintainer:
+  ;;
+  ;; This package was intended to be an educational joke when it was released
+  ;; in 2014. People didn't get the joke part and started depending on
+  ;; it. That's fine, I guess. (This is the Internet.) But it's kinda
+  ;; weird. It's one line, and not even idiomatic Go style. I encourage you
+  ;; not to depend on this or write code like this, but I do encourage you to
+  ;; read the code and think about the representation of Go slices and why it
+  ;; doesn't allocate.
